When the dangers of the streets close in on a group of sex workers battling addiction, they find refuge in the roadside motorhome of a self-styled savior with a mysterious past. But just as they begin to rebuild their lives, a shocking betrayal comes to light that will change them all. Rather than fall victim to another cruel injustice, they discover the strength to stand up for themselves and for each other.
