The film follows Nicole, Pamela and Sealy in Sosúa, a city in the Dominican Republic that is known as the city of prostitutes. Each one is in a stage where she has to choose how her future life will look like, whether it will be a life of poverty and prostitution like most women in their area, or studying and having a normal profession. However, some of them may not have this decision at all; maybe their future is already set up unless a knight on a white horse will get them out of it.
