Dans ce long métrage documentaire, des femmes qui se sont prostituées dénoncent la tendance actuelle à faire de la prostitution un métier « comme un autre ». Elles ont 22, 34 ou 48 ans, elles habitent Montréal, Québec ou Ottawa... Ces femmes, qui ont récemment quitté la prostitution ou qui tentent d’en sortir, mènent un âpre combat pour se réinsérer socialement et retrouver quiétude et sécurité. Dans ce long processus parsemé d’embûches, chacune cherche à reprendre le contrôle de sa vie, à retrouver son estime d’elle-même et à s’offrir une place au soleil.
