A harrowing, unflinching portrait of human trafficking and sexual exploitation that traces one woman's descent into systematic dehumanization across Europe.

Sonia, a girl from St. Petersburg, decides to seek a better life in Western Europe. She first gets a job at a car dealer in Germany. But she is suddenly kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery. She will be dragged from country to country and resistance will only bring her misery and humiliation.
