Gwen is the
middle-aged matron of a small-scale brothel that operates in a medium-sized
town. She’s got the girls well protected
from the police because she’s married to the local sheriff and he turns a blind
eye to their operations. Also, she’s
extremely focused on making sure that the girls who work for her are morally
comfortable with their flexible sexual morality and that they don’t feel
pressured or exploited. Anyway, a new
girl, Cassie, doesn’t feel pressured, but her boyfriend, a boxer, isn’t
comfortable with what she’s doing now.
Gwen
interrupts a fight between Cassie and the boxer and makes the point that why is
it ok to get beat up for living, but not to get laid for a living. The boxer ultimately backs down and brothel
life resumes. But only a few days later,
one of the other girls goes missing.
Gwen and her husband have an awkward time figuring out what police
involvement should be, and ultimately decide that there won’t be any. Cassie fears that her boyfriend was right,
that maybe she shouldn’t do this job.
Gwen meanwhile takes on the investigation, using her husband’s resources
and her own street smarts to track down the kidnapper.
Of course,
the missing girl’s body turns up at some point and the police are forced to get
involved, but they still try to steer clear of addressing the brothel. Gwen eventually figures out who did it… the
boxer. He kidnapped the girl in an
effort to prove a point to his girlfriend, and he never intended to kill her,
but things got out of hand. Now Gwen is
faced with a problem. If she tries to
turn in the boxer, then obviously the brothel’s cover will be blown and these
girls will lose their livelihood or worse.
But she can’t just let a murderer of women go. So she decides that she’ll take justice into
her own hands and kill the man herself.
