Prime Cut

Prime Cut is a 2011 movie starring pop icons Alesha and Putanovska.

Plot
The film is set in Atlanta in the 1980s, in the midst of the United States crack epidemic. Nichelle Dorinda Bourbonaise (Putanovska Ratsvetaeva) is a successful madam who operates a lucrative prostitution industry, The Stable, where Tammy Brown (Alesha Kurdadze) works as an in-demand escort, masturbating business men in car parks and fellating wealthy clients (such as Chris Evans) in V.I.P. clubs. Nichelle and Tammy are a magnificent team, working alongside child prostitute Cinnamon (Just Ginger), crack whore Amelle (Anyerina Evans), and shank victim Lexus (Anika Noni Rose).

However, trouble soon ensues when Terrill (Mehcad Brooks), a male pimp, sets his sight on Nichelle's business. He decides that Tammy is his way in. After starting a gas leak at the brothel, causing amputee blow-up doll Nubbita (Tentrita Troll) to melt and die, Terrill initiates relations with Tammy and impregnates her. Tammy, enamored with Terrill, tells Nichelle she is leaving the company.

Frustrated at the loss of her brothel and her star employee, Nichelle crushes pills and slips them into Tammy's drink, which leads to the miscarriage of her baby. However, Terrill is still an issue. Nichelle calls some colleagues, Pablo (Gael García Bernal) and Panchito (Rolando Molinda), ordering a hit on Terrill. He is murdered in a drive-by.

Distraught by the death of her baby and her lover, Tammy goes crawling back to Nichelle. The pair are reunited and their company is returned to its former glory, opening an exotic dance club which doubles as a discreet brothel.
