A morally complex drama about a desperate widow who considers auctioning herself off, caught between economic desperation, romantic possibility, and social judgment.

Struggling with a financial crisis, a good-looking widow decides to put herself up for grabs. However, going through with it becomes almost impossible with a new love and the legal system thrown into the mix.
