What is this movie about?
Three smart, sexy, college girl sugar babies (SBs) start a seminar business called Arrangement Dating Champions (ADC) to stop oppression against women who engage in the lifestyle. The SBs expose themselves to disrespect, discrimination, scamming, and social stigma. While the ADC venture is not a financial success, the SBs learn from the experience, and come of age.
