Plot[]

Raquel Pacheco is a teen girl, adopted by an upper-middle-class family, who rebelled at 17 years old and left her adoptive family and studies at a traditional college in São Paulo to become a prostitute, and later call girl. Shortly after starting work, she decided to write a blog about her experiences. Since some clients thought she looked like a surfer she adopted the name "Surfistinha", which means "little surfer girl". This blog became a sensation, and quickly became one of the most popular blogs in Brazil. Becoming famous, her life changed significantly. She went on to be interviewed on Brazilian talk shows similar to Oprah and David Letterman, all the while continuing her blog about her racy exploits. But soon afterwards the fame gets to her in the form of addiction to drugs, which makes her do almost anything for a hit.
