Lula Mae, Ester, Megan, Rosalee, Helen, and Rockelle are like a close-knit family as they work the mean streets of San Francisco. For better or worse, they have something else in common too: their "manager," Clyde Brooks--a charismatic but intensely controllnig man who plays father, brother, lover and friend to each. Though they savor the high-life that Clyde provides, each of them yearns for something more. Soon, one simple act of rebellion will set in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever.
