Synopsis:

courtesy of Nick Broomfield courtesy of Nick Broomfield
A legalised brothel in the middle of the Nevada desert, where a group of girls work, argue and make friends, looked over by a patrician brothel owner and a madam with a sharp business mind. Filmed over two months with intimate access to the prostitutes and some of their clients, this observational film goes beneath the business-like exterior to reveal the individual stories behind it.
