About this movie

The year is 1994. A Korean-American teenager, Hyun Jae (Jamie Chung, Sucker Punch [2011], Once Upon a Time), goes to a bar in New Mexico where a handsome young man buys her drinks and offers her a ride home. But she never reaches home and is instead abducted and forced into prostitution by a human and drug trafficking ring located outside the bright lights of Las Vegas, Nevada. Hyun Jae is initiated into her new life by Bob (Beau Bridges, The Descendants, The Fabulous Baker Boys), the corrupt Federal Marshall who runs the organisation. Through a haze of morphine, Hyun Jae learns what her future holds: sex with strangers and life in a 10x10 storage unit. Inspired by the harrowing true story of Chong Kim.

Ratings and reviews

A powerful film that cuts through revealing some of the true horrors of Sex Trafficking, without having to show the sexual scenes, and all the horrible scenes that are not needed, as with this film skillful filming still expresses the horrors through the acting. So extremely well filmed keeps you gripped all the way through, especially as you know it is a true story, even harder to face.

Really well directed, put the story across really well. Must watch
