  TRADE:
  Two different girls from very different backgrounds are both sold into
  prostitution and the sex slave industry. One is a Romanian girl forced 
  into sex slavery after being promised a better life in America. The brother 
  of the other girl--a Mexican girl abducted and forced into the 
  trade--joins forces with a cop and discovers he is the father of a young daughter 
  who is also likely a sex slave.
