An eccentric and elegant girl evokes the curiosity of a young man. In order to engage with her acquaintance, Paul asks permission to use her phone.

Holly is bored to live. It is so boring that she visits every week in the prison of Sally Pomidor, the former leader of the mafia group. However, she does this not for free. From Sally, she sends a message to one of the members of the criminal group, for which she receives a reward of $ 100 for each visit. The frivolous Holly does not think about the consequences of such actions.

Sex is attached to the girl. They become true friends: they share their dreams and plans for the future. But one day Holly announces to Paul about his imminent marriage. Her chosen one is a wealthy man from Brazil. Holly had long dreamed of becoming a rich man's wife. She is going with her future spouse to Brazil, but she is being arrested.
