Respectable follows a group of young women working together, squabbling, chatting and bonding. There's just one difference... they work in a brothel.
The Debonnaire is a brothel run by chain-smoking grandmother Maureen, an extremely skilled woman who's seen it all. Her girls are innocent wannabe Hayley; student Katie; and the scary Yelena - a Serbian war criminal on the run.
In stumbles shy, clumsy Michael Price, whose marriage is in ruins and who falls head-over-heels for the beautiful Hayley, although unlike the regular clientele, he's far too polite to actually ask her for sex.
In this house full of sex toys and negligees a love story develops... But can there be a happy ending in a house like this?
