Overview

DramaThriller

An unhinged woman is dangerously jealous of her ex-boyfriend's new lover. For April, performing stripping telegrams for private bachelor parties is just a way to pay the rent. To Nick, however, taking it off at bachelorette parties is more of an adventure - but Nick's promiscuity leads him down a path of destruction once he meets up with Christy, a voluptuously beautiful flight attendant. Murder. Kidnapping. When love turns to obsession, a man is capable of anything.

Trivia

Real-life siblings Cara and Jack van Landingham play ex-lovers April and Nick, making every scene approximately 400% more uncomfortable.

Cultural

This film arrived at the dying gasp of the straight-to-video erotic thriller boom, when production values had collapsed but the genre's conventions remained weirdly preserved.
