An impressive small budget Canadian film about a young woman, smart but emotionally troubled (Julia Sara Stone — who I was unfamiliar with — in a moving performance), who ends up as one of a number of women pimped out at what appears to Ontario truck stops. A police bust gives her a chance to escape this life as she is placed in the care of a foster family (Martha Plimpton, impressive, as always, plays the tough but caring matriarch), but of course things aren’t so simple. Never clichéd, and quite moving.
