A teenage girl is abandoned by her mother in a collapsing post-Soviet city. Left to fend for herself, she slides into poverty and desperation. A seemingly kind man offers her a new life in another country, but she is instead trafficked into sexual slavery, her hopes for escape crushed by a brutal reality.
