Plot
Frank "Dolly" Dillon hates his job of working collections for Pay-E-Zee Stores. He loathes his wife, Joyce, and has an account balance that barely lets him pay the bills each month.
Working door-to-door one day, Dolly crosses paths with a beautiful young woman, Mona who is being forced by her aunt to do things that she does not want to with men she does not know. Mona wants out any way that she can.

gollark: Soulwar instead?
gollark: How about: the cave is just an infinite-scroll list of descriptions?
gollark: Or just kill them.
