A bleak, exploitative portrait of a naive young woman's systematic degradation and victimization across a series of predatory encounters.

Therese, a beautiful but naive young girl, who finds herself being passed around from depraved pervert to depraved pervert, enduring just about every kind of sexual degradation there is while still believing that some kind stranger will eventually help her.
