The only thing that stands between Jonna and the chance to fulfill her dream, is money or rather, the lack of it, since Jonna still lives at home with her alcoholic dosser mum. When entering a world after dark, Jonna realizes there are other possible uses of a fit female body. However Jonna discovers sometimes there are bruises that are way more painful than a punch to the head.
