Rose DeVille had a modeling agency that was actually a front for drugs and prostitution. In 1979, Vince Holiday served as Rose's sidekick in all of her illegal activities of undercover prostitution and selling babies on the black market. An unwitting, young Nikki Reed signed on. When she took her first assignment, she was shocked to learn that the man she was meeting with, a businessman named Walter Addison, was a john. When the Walter died at her feet of a heart attack, Rose dumped the body and threatened Nikki to keep her mouth shut.
