“Nothing is more expensive than free.”
Kenichiro Yoko-o thought he found a bargain: a laser hair removal package in Hong Kong for a fraction of the price in Japan. He expected a vacation. He woke up in a nightmare.
Drugged and chained to a bed in a secret facility, Kenichiro discovers the clinic was a front for a human trafficking ring. He has been surgically altered against his will, castrated and feminized, and saddled with a massive debt for the “procedure.”
Renamed “Yoko,” he is forced to work at “The Cherry Orchard,” an exclusive underground club catering to wealthy men who desire his unique new body. Trapped in a world of vice and violence, Yoko must learn the art of seduction to survive.
But as Yoko climbs the ranks of the underworld, winning the favor of Arab tycoons and Japanese businessmen, he realizes that escape might not mean returning to his old life… because Kenichiro is gone, and only Yoko remains.
(A dark, gritty thriller about survival, identity, and the price of beauty.)
