Trapped: City of Angels, explores the rags to riches rise of a former prostitute from the seedy underbelly of South Los Angeles, turned queen-pin of a multi-million dollar escort empire and the tumultuous downfall that leads her to take a drastic turn. She becomes an undercover agent infiltrating the world of power and privilege, determined to expose their injustices. As she delves deeper into their sinister secrets, she confronts her own haunting past, navigating a treacherous double life in pursuit of justice, redemption, and healing from the trauma that shaped her. The Trap: LA explores the dynamics of money, sex, and power in pursuit of the American dream and the cycle of trauma that comes from looking outward rather than inward in trying to find purpose in life.
