Brooke had a good job in retail after moving to the glamour of Las Vegas, but before she knew it a handsome, charismatic man was dazzling her with flashy cars and a glimpse at a new kind of life she’d never imagined. As her feelings for him mixed with his role as a pimp and his pressure for her to join “the game,” she was barely aware of her slow descent into a life she could hardly comprehend. As Brooke moved on to another, more powerful man she became further enmeshed in a life of manipulation, addiction, and abuse. As she eventually pulled away from a life she’d known for more than eight years and began coming to terms with how she’d been trafficked and trapped, her long road to healing and self-worth would finally begin.
