It stars Reis, Daniel Henshall, Tiffany Chu, Michael Drayer, Lisa Emery, Kimberly Guerrero, and Kevin Dunn.

The plot follows a young American Indian woman and former boxer named Kaylee who voluntarily joins a sex trafficking ring to find her missing younger sister.

Kaylee, a Native American woman and former professional boxer, is now a drug addict living in a women's shelter and working as a waitress.

After finding a lead on Weeta's whereabouts, Kaylee meets the procurer of a local trafficking ring and convinces him she is desperately in need of money.

The man takes pictures, gives her drugs, and masturbates while watching her undress before agreeing to contact a buyer looking for a "Native girl".

When he leaves the room, Kaylee enters the house and ties his family up, putting tape over their mouths to stop them from screaming.

Kaylee interrogates Linda and learns that Willie owns a train yard where he will transport the next "batch" of kidnapped girls.
