A softcore exploitation film that uses a sheltered woman's inheritance of bordellos as a premise for erotic scenarios and seduction, blending titillation with fish-out-of-water culture shock.

Following her parents' death, Vanessa was raised in a convent. Due to an inheritance, she travels to Hong Kong to learn that she inherited a chain of bordellos. Soon, Vanessa has trouble coping as she's thrust into her new world of carnal delights.
