Description
The lure of easy money traps the unsuspecting in the seamy underbelly of Malaysia
After her husband is arrested for murder, Amelina, a Muslim woman and educated Filipina, finds herself poverty-stricken. Faced by impossible circumstances, she makes the choice to relocate to Malaysia in the hopes of creating a better life for herself and her family. Abused as a maid, she is lured into prostitution and becomes entangled in a world rife with physical and moral corruption.
"Four months with Madam Rose as her pimp, Amelina learnt that it takes little effort to arouse a man's desireล . In the four months she made double her annual salary as a maid. She shopped like a celebrity and couldn't really account for how she spent most of the money. She had some money in her bank account and didn't feel rich or contented with it or fulfilled. The sense of guilt that her means of livelihood was sinful overwhelmed her."
As Amelina becomes caught in a descending spiral of ruined relationships and the loss of her children, she is forced to turn to blackmail, betrayal and intimidation to settle old scores.
