Synopsis
Every girl has her price . . .
To Steph, working as a bar hostess in Japan sounds too good to be true. Friends say she can earn a fortune simply by flirting with drunk businessmen, and there's no sex involved - honest. Old friends, Julia and Annabel, are earning piles of cash in Tokyo and say hostessing is perfectly safe.
But once in Japan, Steph realises Julia is a shadow of her former self and Annabel has disappeared. No one cares that Annabel's gone, least of all a troubled and secretive Julia.
As Steph searches for her missing friend, she is lured into gritty, glamorous Roppongi - an exotic world of sex, modern-day geishas and easy money. But the longer she stays in Tokyo's sex district, the less finding Annabel seems to matter. Steph soon realises she must discover what s happened to Annabel, or risk selling a part of herself she'll never get back.
