Synopsis
Arriving in London, Hayleigh finds work as lap dancer 'Layla'. Determined to beat the sleaze and the system, her plan is to make enough money to prove to the world, and her mother, that she is a fit parent. Layla survives on wit and skillful moves, confident of her looks and in her ability to exploit men before they can exploit her. Avoiding the changing-room politics and staggering through boozy nights, she sweet talks her boss, dodges stalking clients and keeps the truth from her housemates. But over the course of a chaotic week, a series of shocking events forces changes.
