The story of Heidi Fleiss, known as "The Hollywood Madam", who was the daughter of a prominent Los Angeles doctor and eventually became a prostitute for a well-known Los Angeles madam.

It traces Heidi Fleiss from her privileged origins through her empire-building to her collision with the law, framed as both a tragedy of ambition and an indictment of the power and corruption surrounding her.
