After his first major bestseller, the young author is unable to build on his previous successes. Together with his girlfriend, Jessica, a college student, he faces increasingly serious financial challenges that eventually nearly drive them to ruin.

After lengthy discussions, Jessica gets her way with her proposal to temporarily earn money by working as a street hooker. Even his first night on the street turns into a veritable emotional roller coaster, during which he writes down his feelings to cope with the situation.

After working the streets, the money lasts for a while, until another repair leaves a big hole in his budget. This time, stepping out onto the street is easier, even though it triggers the same emotional turmoil as the first time. When a regular customer at the bar where Jessica works spots her on the street, it becomes clear to both of them that her side job as a waitress is now a thing of the past. They try to find new sources of income, which draw them deeper and deeper into the vortex of sex, power, and money.

An erotic novel full of emotion and passion that explores many social issues, but above all the question: Can human beings be bought?
