Misty, a call girl working at a cathouse run by Tamiko. Tamiko runs her house like a mini-dictatorship, making all the girls follow a strict set of rules: No boyfriends, no orgasms, no taking tips, etc. Misty is the top girl in the house and is making the most money. Tamiko does her best to keep Misty in line, however. Tamiko asks, sensing Misty may be thinking about starting her own house.
