Claire Dolan

Claire Dolan, an Irish immigrant, arrives in America with hopes for a better life. However, she finds herself ensnared in the harsh realities of working as a sex worker, a life she deeply despises.

Upon relocating to Newark, Claire is burdened with a significant debt owed to her pimp. This financial obligation forces her to continue engaging in the dangerous profession of sex work, leaving her feeling trapped.

In her new environment, Claire stays with her cousin, which helps her establish some social connections. She also befriends a woman named Siobhan, which offers her a glimmer of hope and companionship amid her struggles.

Claire begins to receive a series of mysterious phone calls that leave her feeling uneasy. Initially silent, these calls heighten her anxiety, and she fears that her former pimp, Roland, may have traced her to her new location.

In search of comfort, Claire ventures out to a nearby bar where she meets a man named Elton. Their conversation quickly leads to a dance, marking the beginning of a connection that leaves Claire waking up in his bed the following day.

After returning to her apartment, Claire feels a sense of dread as she notices someone resembling Roland watching her. This paranoia intensifies when Elton arrives and questions her about her past, including her relationship with her pimp.

Despite the tensions in her life, Claire and Elton's relationship begins to deepen. They share tender moments that signify a blossoming romance, providing her with a sense of hope and love she desperately craves.

Elton's unexpected run-in with Roland leads to a heated confrontation. Roland accuses Elton of being involved with Claire, suggesting that she may be tied forever to the sex work world, foreshadowing the complexities of Claire's situation.

Following a doctor's appointment where her health is confirmed, Claire continues to juggle her life as a sex worker. However, she experiences a moment of distress when she spots Elton outside during a client visit, reigniting her internal conflict.

With newfound independence and some savings, Claire takes the crucial step of paying off her debt to Roland. Their meeting takes a troubling turn when Roland offers her money for a potential pregnancy, attempting to reassert control over her life.

Feeling empowered, Claire resolutely declines Roland's offer and decides to take charge of her life. She leaves their meeting with a sense of purpose, determined to reclaim her independence and escape her past.

With a renewed sense of hope, Claire heads to the airport, visualizing a life free from her past. This marks a pivotal moment as she leaves her old life behind, setting out to forge a new path.

After Claire departs, Elton is seen with a blonde woman, whom he introduces as his wife. He reveals that she is pregnant, adding a layer of complexity to Claire’s struggle for freedom as she confronts the reality of her situation.
