This show is based on true events.
Tetyana Komisaruk, a Russian madam active in the Los Angeles area during the 1990s, was tried and convicted for her participation in a smuggling ring that brought young women from Ukraine to the U.S. via Mexico with the objective of forcing them into prostitution.
In a bid for lenient sentencing, Tetyana addresses the jury and makes a deal for lenient sentencing:: She reveals how she went from growing up in a Moscow orphanage to becoming a criminal entrepreneur. She was incredibly successful….until the authorities caught up with her, that is. Now, she has one chance to make her case. Will the jury let her go free?
Written and performed by Venessa Verdugo.
