She also got to know their customers, those in for a night or in forever (many fell in love and stayed on in Patpong). From Odzer's account emerges a far different picture from the cliched image of the prostitute.

After five years of forced separation, two sisters reconnect with one midnight phone call that changed everything, made in secret from a basement. One was already free and the other desperate to escape. The Sister Act traces their dual journey from life inside an isolated faith to the shock of navigating the real world, then breaking into entrepreneurship, self-discovery and healing. Through raw conversation on beliefs, family and the invisible weight of childhood trauma, they explore what it means to untangle faith from fear and build everything from nothing.
