Synopsis:

Ever since "Pretty Women" everyone has learned about prostitutes being good people. Often those women are forced into this line of business by bad luck and actually try to achieve higher things. In his first full length film Jonathan Gems  tells the story of three prostitutes. Francesca (Julie Delpy), fragile and pretty but permanently on coke flees her husband Mike (Patrick Dempsey) after her miscarriage. Dolly (Pam Gidley) is actually a lesbian and is just trying to get enough money together to be able to start her own restaurant and Mimi (Georgina Cates) is following the Lord. Pimp Tony (Daniel Baldwin) always finds suitors who have strange wishes.: Michael York needs a wedding ceremony to get horny as the bride's father and Vincent Perez takes pictures of the muses in antique clothes. "The Treat" is a comedy of black humour, showing the human side of the perhaps most human line of business.
