A grim exploitation thriller that follows a teenage runaway's descent into sex work and abuse in 1980s New York, driven by desperation and predatory manipulation.

Cookie is a teen runaway who escapes her abusive stepfather and heads for the Big Apple with her younger brother. When she arrives at the Port Authority bus terminal, Cookie meets a charming but sadistic pimp named Duke. With nowhere to go, Cookie is soon working for Duke, who introduces her to the harsh, brutal life of being a prostitute.
