Pimp revolves around the character Wednesday (Palmer), who is in a relationship with a woman that she has grown up with, and decides to be a pimp.

With this in mind, Wednesday decides to steal a beautiful woman from a major pimp in the neighborhood, and winds up making more money than she anticipated. She gets caught up in the \u201cpimp life,\u201d and decides to pimp out Nikki; however, problems arise when Nikki fails to make as much money as the other woman.<\/p>\n
