Magnolia (2012)

Magnolia, the 22-year-old protagonist, hails from a conservative, Catholic Minneapolis family. Against her family and friends' wishes she follows her boyfriend "Fabulous Fred" to Miami. But it turns out that Fabulous Fred is not so fabulous after all and Magnolia is left with a broken heart and bankrupt bank account. Without a job and running out of options (since her pride is at stake), Magnolia finds herself in a bar, drinking herself to numbness when a posh sports agent Oona O'Ryan takes a seat next to her. After an initial round of introductions, Magnolia and Oona exchange their sob stories over rum and Coke. Oona moves on to make a unique business proposition to Magnolia, one that will allow her to live in Miami and earn a great deal of money while giving Oona an "edge" against other agents. And so starts Magnolia's journey as she transforms herself into a "sports geisha," (ie a high-priced hooker for elite athletes). After this the plot basically revolves around Magnolia's sexcapades with different athletes as she plays part hooker, part psychiatrist to them. It brings the big bucks for sure (which Magnolia needs to set up an art school for underprivileged children) but it also puts Magnolia's personal life at stake. Despite the glossy job, great pay and great sex with handsome athletes, Magnolia is ridden by guilt and internally conflicted as she has to perpetually live a lie in front of her family and Max (the love of her life). Go for this if you are in mood for something sporty and erotic. (PD)
