Victoria Carlton invested everything into her dream of
becoming a singer—her hopes, her time, her life savings—
only to fall victim to the harsh realities of the
recording industry. Devastated, broke, and faced with the
choice between committing herself and her young son to a
world of homeless shelters or entering the seedy world of
prostitution, she applies for a job at Pandora’s Box, a
downtown Philadelphia brothel that bills itself as
a “massage salon.” Her lifestyle quickly improves, and the
gratification of instant cash replaces her willingness to
find a low-paying, legitimate occupation. One day, an
unlikely customer appears at Pandora’s Box. Young,
handsome, and well dressed, he is immediately drawn to
Victoria. The two begin a love affair fraught with
complications, leaving Victoria plagued by guilt and
insecurities until a botched robbery and the murder of a
coworker compel her to look beyond the fast money and
reclaim her morals—and her life.
