Plot
In Rome a maniac kills several prostitutes torturing them with a razor.
Stella, a luxury call girl, learns about the murder of Bruna, her old friend. Only Bruna's colleagues attended the funeral: Stella, Lena, Nadine, Angela, Isa, Katia and Monica.
Lena is a beautiful and shy girl. Angela is an unemployed hairdresser now neophyte into prostitution, Isa is the outspoken Valentina's young mother.
Nadine, an experienced sex worker with a cheerful but tenacious personality, decides to organize a group with the colleagues in order to discover the identity of the serial killer before he strikes again.
