Cast

Mack Leigh (Rachel Griffiths) lives in small-town New Zealand with her husband Rob and their two sons, What was meant to be a short visit became permanent thanks to the free healthcare for their disabled son. When Mack discovers Rob’s been seeing a sex worker, she’s surprisingly not angry but inspired. After all, sex work is legal in New Zealand, and her marriage has lacked intimacy for years. Always a renegade and a bit of an entrepreneur, Mack learns the only brothel in town is run by a douchebag. With no money and no experience, she decides to open her own ‘feminist, ethical brothel.’ Mack forges Rob’s signature on a home loan, leases a motel, and recruits an eclectic swagger of mostly rookie sex workers.
