In the sweltering summer of 1977, a group of working girls

find themselves trapped under the thumb of the enigmatic

and ruthless pimp Bossy Jim and his volatile young partner, Chaka—pushed into a dangerous profit-sharing scheme they never asked for.  As Vice Squad digs deeper, chasing leads from a chocolate-obsessed informant to a washed-up TV actress running a shady parlour, the web of control tightens. But out on the streets, the girls aren’t just surviving—they’re watching, learning, and beginning to fight back. And when they do, Bossy Jim and Chaka  may have finally met their match.
