She wanted stardom—but Hollywood wanted her body first.
Lois Cramer is a nightclub singer who wants into television fast, and she knows exactly what currency the town accepts. Kept by a club owner who pimps her to his business friends, Lois works nights onstage and days in bed, trading sex for access, protection, and momentum. When a TV producer circles, she thinks she’s finally crossing the line from call girl to star. But the men who’ve been selling her body aren’t done cashing in.
