Annie O'Brien was raised in a traditional, wealthy Catholic family living by the belief that the family that prays together stays together but behind the cloistered walls of the convent where she was educated she uncovers a secret that tears her family apart. Left to fend for herself, she is determined to complete her education and help her mother. She enters the shrouded, mysterious world of the exotic dancer to make the fast, easy money she needs. After completing her education, she climbs the corporate ladder to a successful career, but at a price, only to find herself back in a strip club several years later. She takes us on a journey from Toronto to the neon jungle of Las Vegas where she goes up against the powerful men who control this multi-million dollar business of the good, the bad and the ugly; the sex and the drugs; the dancers who tell her their stories saying, "This is not now how I would have drawn my life"; the customers who are more faithful to their regular dancers than they are to their wives; the men believing the dancer is faithful to them, forgetting that this is her business as she dances to a different tune.
