Three lives intersect in Tokyo’s infamous red light district, Kabuki-cho. Vivienne's party girl lifestyle is getting her nowhere, but she’s drawn to the mysterious world of Tokyo's hostess clubs, where love is for sale. Her sister Vienna, on the other hand, seems to have life worked out. She has a job and a boyfriend, but when she gets a chance to fly to Tokyo and find her sister, she finds she doesn’t want to leave. Hefei-born and Shanghai-raised Taiya runs a couple of the clubs and gives both of the girls their first shot at playing hostess. While Vivienne excels, quickly rising through the ranks and enjoying a champagne and caviar lifestyle, her younger sister Vienna is stuck at the bottom, meeting with seedy men and seeing the less glamorous aspects of the lifestyle up close.
