Lights. Magic. Passion. Crime. All coexist within the bowels of The Grifter. Between the curved bodies and glitter found inside lies a story. Latisha, a performer at the infamous The Grifter, can't help but feel she's meant for bigger and better things. However, being an exotic dancer places her at the bottom of society. She's talented and ambitious but the bills and rent are always due. Here she works her nine-to-five. Here she grinds with her other "blue-collar" colleagues. All girls of the night with dreams and ambitions of their own. Headed by the veteran femme-fatale Ms. Cowton, The Grifter is a place where one's wildest desires can come true but also where one's dreams can die. Latisha and the girl's will navigate the shady terrain of The Grifter while just trying to make ends meet and their ambitions come true.—KC Michelson
