En dag under en turné rundt på forskellige bordeller i Danmark siger Louises krop og psyke pludselig stop. Hun beslutter at forlade sexbranchen, men det er ikke så lige til, og hun bliver nødt til at trappe ned, inden hun kan slippe den helt. Gennem sin mentor i exit-programmet New Hope bliver hun sendt videre til psykiater og får konstateret angst og posttraumatisk stress. Men langsomt, ved hjælp af samtalerne og kognitiv terapi, kommer hun i bedring. Ægteskabet er i krise, for pludselig er Louise hjemme hele tiden, og økonomien er stram. Men hun er stædig.

Louise vokser op på Nørrebro og lærer allerede fra barnsben at række hånden frem for at få penge af de mænd, der forgriber sig på hende. Hun oparbejder et stort forbrug af slik, som hun bruger til at dulme sine følelser med. En dag stikker hun en blyant i øjet på en skolekammerat, der mobber hende, og hun bliver sendt på opdragelseshjemmet Ville Heise i Nordsjælland. Her møder hun pædagogen Bjørn og får for første gang i sit liv en tryg base. Fire år senere sendes hun i plejefamilie i et lille lokalsamfund på Sydsjælland, hvor overgrebene begynder forfra.

Louise bliver gift og stifter familie. Men det går ikke helt efter planen, og snart er hun enlig mor og prostitueret på fuld tid.
