Beverly Hills Madam

In Beverly Hills, a discreet escort agency is run by Lil Hutton, a poised and exacting leader who keeps the operation polished and profitable. The business is built on carefully curated roles: four young women—Wendy Benton, Claudia Winston, Julie Tyler, and April Baxter—each trained to blend into high society with designer wardrobes and a demanding reading list that helps them converse with elite clients. Their employer is aided by her loyal butler, Douglas Corbin, who handles the mansion’s routine and aids Lil in maintaining the façade of sophistication.

Claudia Winston’s story threads through personal longing and danger. She attempts to escape the life when her wealthy boyfriend, Steven Beck, proposes, dreaming of a normal future together. Yet a former client breaks the illusion by exposing Claudia’s past, and the revelation enrages Steven, who ends the engagement. In the wake of the broken engagement, Claudia sinks into heartbreak and drink, and her instability worries Lil, who believes Claudia’s drinking and reckless behavior threaten the business. The tension between ambition, loyalty, and the consequences of a world built on appearances sets the emotional undercurrent of Claudia’s arc.

Meanwhile, Julie Tyler arrives from Nebraska with wide-eyed naiveté. When her possessions are stolen and police wrongly arrest her for prostitution, Lil takes her in, offering shelter and a shot at a life beyond her hometown. Julie becomes enchanted by the glittering lifestyle of a high-class call girl, and Lil’s mansion becomes her new world. A pivotal moment arrives when Julie is hired by a father to take the virginity of his son, Justin, as an 18th-birthday gift during a yacht trip. The couple’s romance blossoms, but the father’s family rejects Julie, leaving her heartbroken and exposed to the coldness that can accompany this line of work. After confronting the emotional toll, Julie decides she cannot endure the emotional distance of sex work and ultimately quits.

Back at Lil’s mansion, Wendy Benton grapples with balancing law school and the pressures of her demanding clientele. A trip to meet Len Culver in New York City, just before mid-terms, becomes a turning point: the stress proves too much to study for, and Wendy fails her exam. She discovers she is pregnant, and when she tells Len that he is the father, he tries to buy her silence with money and bribes. Lil instructs Wendy on how to handle the payment if she decides to keep the baby, exposing the precarious leverage the agency holds over its workers and the vulnerability of young women navigating this world.

April Baxter is the least committed of Lil’s group, a dancer who drifts through assignments and clashes with Lil over work ethic. A late-night booking becomes a tragedy when Lil fails to run a proper background check on a client, and April is murdered. The loss shatters Lil, who suffers a breakdown and leaves the business in chaos. With April gone, Claudia—now emotionally numbed by alcohol and hardened by circumstance—assumes control of the operation, guiding it with a cooler, more calculating mindset. The agency’s power dynamics shift in the wake of tragedy, revealing how desire, wealth, and survival intersect in a world where loyalty is scarce and danger lurks behind every elegant door.

This story unfolds as a meditation on prestige, pressure, and the costs of a life lived at the edge of luxury. The characters navigate a fragile system where affection, trust, and opportunity are often traded for status and security, and where personal histories threaten to upend carefully maintained façades. As the operation passes from Lil to Claudia, the film traces how ambition can pivot to ruthlessness when people are pushed to protect themselves—and to preserve a business built on façade as much as on flesh.
