Hanna leaves her family and girlfriend behind to go to the city of her dreams, San Francisco, where she hopes to explore her sexuality. Soon she meets the professional dominatrix Chloe and Cyd, who works as an escort. A door into a new world opens up for Hanna, and together with Chloe and Cyd, she begins a journey which takes her further and further away from her life and family in Sweden. The director Tove Pils has been documenting the lives of Hanna, Chloe and Cyd for over a decade. Through their intimate camera, a queer community that challenges the view of sex and work is explored.
