Overview

Annie, a young virgin on the run from her stepfather, snatches his money and car, aiming for the bright lights of Miami Beach. Stranded and broke at Tahiti Beach, she’s taken in by Barbara, a redheaded local who, along with her quirky roommate Carol, offers Annie shelter—and a crash course in their lucrative call-girl trade. As Annie is shown the ropes of the profession, she quickly goes from naïve runaway to apprentice in an underworld of seduction, luxury, and survival. The film explores the shifting power dynamics and camaraderie among women navigating a world of exploitation and desire, all set against a sultry early-'70s Florida backdrop.
