Ms. Hernandez continues the compelling story of Halleigh from Flint, Michigan. Halleigh unwittingly trusts Mimi as she promises to help her make enough money to get Malek out of jail, and has become a prostitute as a last resort of survival. Malek has left his hood dreams and accepted that he has the markings of a boss per se kingpin Jamaica Joe. Envy and treachery treads within the realms of the crew as a snitch breaks bread with their main enemy, Sweets, Manolo and their gang. Manolo has his grimy hands in all pots as he pimps the Manolo Mami's, of which Halleigh is a part, as well as runs a strip club while investing in the drug scene. Working Girls is a gritty view of one young woman's trek down the ugly path of self destruction as she struggles to keep from drowning with each vicious slap of abuse she endures.
