Ruby Star is an unwed teenage mother struggling to support herself and her one-year-old baby. With no money and no family, she reluctantly turns to selling her body to survive. Her initiation into this world is tough, but life is made easier by the friendship of two humane and caring people - Carla, a young prostitute, and Easy, a kind-hearted pimp. In their strange union they discover the love and heartbreak that true friendship can bring, and the irreparable damage caused by the life they now lead. (official distributor synopsis)
