Each year, approximately five hundred thousand women become victims of the sex industry. Filmmaker Ric Esther Bienstock focused on former Soviet Bloc countries, which have become the biggest suppliers of women to the global trade in sex slaves in the last few years. Using hidden cameras and microphones, she exposes the different stages of the forced prostitution. Many women in difficult situations have no other option than to believe promises of work abroad, often falling for the ruse that they will be employed as waitresses. The money they could earn may help save the life of a member of the family, paying for medicine or operations, or just cover their basic needs. Interviews with women that were rescued, or managed to escape, testify to the brutal conditions of forced prostitution and expose the nightmare of their captivity.
