Mia
Mia is the most seasoned of the five principal characters, and the story of the plight of each woman is told from her point of view.  Born into an affluent multi-ethnic family, Mia’s close relationship with her family came to an abrupt halt when she secretly married her aunt’s step-son, Ronnie.  Her much older spouse, Ronnie, had an unknown career to his wife, and the newlyweds began to struggle with money.  One night over eating fries and drinking milkshakes, Ronnie asked Mia if she would try exotic dancing in order for them to support themselves financially.  Initially appalled by his suggestion, Mia re-thinks the offer as a means to pursue her dream of opening her own dental practice.  With her career goals in mind, Mia steps onto the stage of The Ranch.

Bre
A beautiful girl who hid behind baggy jeans and loose-fitting shirts, Bre was the star of her high school basketball team. Raised by her grandmother due to her absentee parents, Bre realized in high school that her good looks could lead to an illustrious modeling career. However, wanting to pursue her dreams of being discovered required money that her grandmother just didn’t have. Bre’s desire to travel to the larger cities, and build an impressive portfolio continued to loom over her head until she one day heard of a quick way to make a large amount of cash. With a fake driver’s license, and a fabulous makeover, Bre headed to an audition at The Ranch hoping to make the funds to become a star.

Omyra
Sitting in the bathtub and playing with the bubbles, Omyra’s father sneaked into the bathroom and rubbed his fingers along her vagina. While the incestuous sexual abuse began when she was only six years old, the nightmare didn’t end for Omyra until she ran away from home as a teenager. Living with boyfriend after boyfriend and entering into unhealthy and toxic relationships, Omyra found herself being forced into sexual trysts and drug use. Fed up with being reliant upon one abusive man after another, Omyra decided to go after the bundles of money she heard she could earn at The Ranch so she could once and for all be completely independent.

Kai
Having witnessed years of her father’s heavy substance abuse, Kai never really had much of a childhood. Falling in love with her high school sweetheart, and then losing him due to gang violence all made for a very bittersweet sixteen. With a heavy heart, and being mad at the world, it wasn’t too hard for Kai to end up in the wrong company. Introduced to drugs and alcohol, her style of partying like a rock star required money that her minimum wage job couldn’t afford. At the suggestion of one of the neighborhood guys, Kai went to audition at a place called The Ranch. Though it may have sounded like a job where she would have been milking cows, all Kai kept her eyes on was milking in loads of cash.

Crystal
Growing up without a mother wasn’t easy for Crystal. Having a step-mother at home, only to later abandon Crystal and her father, made the pain of loneliness hurt twice as much. In a single parent household, Crystal’s father did all that he could to provide for his daughter. Although she was never ungrateful, Crystal’s idea of a life was not limited to a roof over her head, and being able to get by with the bills. She always dreamed of more, and considered a college education to be her ticket to success. However, getting pregnant and thrown out of her home proved to be a challenge which she believed she could overcome. Getting into shape and learning to love her post-pregnancy curves, Crystal decided that a quick stretch at The Ranch would only be a detour to the life she always envisioned for herself and newborn daughter.
