“Working Girls is provocative, honest, and disturbing.”—Jay Scott, Globe and Mail
College graduate Molly (Louise Smith), trying to bankroll her own business, works as a high-priced New York City escort. As a lesbian, she's able to keep her emotional distance from the clients, who range from cynically exploitative to desperately needy. Her open ambition to rise above her current station rubs many of her coworkers the wrong way, especially the combative, street-smart Dawn (Amanda Goodwin) and the escort service's disdainful madam, Lucy (Ellen McElduff).
