Our story begins in an inner-city neighborhood. Our main character skins his knees while rollerblading, the only white kid with a fro in the ghetto. The woman who treats his injury is clearly a working girl, a "hooker with a heart of gold."
Our main character grows up, moving to rural Kansas, where he works at a local DQ. He and a co-worker begin to discuss business ventures. The boys light on the idea that the "working girl" industry could be reformed to provide benefits. Health-care. Dental. They decide to move to New York to start their own business.
The next segment of our story involves our main characters searching for their first employee. They solicit the girls of Grande Ave., and one girl becomes the only employee they can get to sign a contract with them.
The boys search for ways to provide comforts for their employee. Most of their gifts are juvenile, especially compared with the other working girls of the area. The protaganist gives her a giant stuffed panda, which is forever in the background of the scene in Grande Ave., and is sometimes even being pulled into the cars of her customers.
Gradually, the protagonist develops a love for his employee, which develops an ethical conflict for him because he believes that they need to maintain a strictly working relationship. This also becomes more convoluted as the protagonist gets frequently intimidated by her former pimp.
The story ends with the girl leaving the business because they have scared off most of her business, even the regulars. The boys head back to rural Kansas, where they regain their former jobs at the DQ. They discuss other business opportunities, such as turning a junk-yard into a petting zoo and creating calendars of ferrets in various locals.
