SYNOPSIS:
Christine Reade (Riley Keough) is a second year student at
Chicago-Burnham Law School and a new intern at a
prestigious firm. Working hard to establish herself at the
firm, her focus quickly shifts when a classmate introduces
her to the world of transactional relationships. Known as
GFEs, they are women who provide “The Girlfriend
Experience” — emotional and sexual relationships at a very
high price. Juggling two very different lives, Christine
quickly finds herself drawn into the GFE world, attracted
to the rush of control and intimacy.
