Amia Ramirez was fifteen when she was first kidnapped and sent into the dark and dangerous world of sex trafficking. As a young minor introduced in the illegal world of human selling, meaningless erotica, and drugs, she’s quickly learned to be emotionless. It all comes in the line of work. Most girls compete for the affection of their pimp in hopes that it’ll save them from the horrors of the trade. Amia’s not among them. Instead, she’s joined to the hip with an entire unit of streetwalkers who have one thing in common: their hate for their pimp. Sticking together against all odds is all that they have to console themselves and to move past their losses. Of the seven years that she’s been arrested and brought on charges of prostitution, she’s managed to become a known face among the police department, along with a few others. One night of gamble leads to her and members of her unit into a new world. A world so dark and scandalous that it makes what she’s been forced into look appealing. As dark as it is, she’s given two choices—work with the other girls and bring down their pimp, or risk facing serious jail time at the disposal of the crooked cops and gang members that she is presented to along with the others.
