Softcore cinema's answer to 'The Big Chill' — minus the corpse, plus the carnal knowledge.
Pam Graham has a reunion with her two hot, sensual classmates, Arden Hall and Jean Perkins. When the three are reunited, Jean announces the return of another friend, the sexually mysterious Candice Fields. The girls are flushed with excitement at the thought of Candice's return. She had inspired many of the erotic intimacies they shared in college. After Candice arrives, her sensuality and energy quickly enrapture the hot, young girls. They abandon themselves to each other and their men in a torrid, frenzied climax.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sarno was dubbed the 'Ingmar Bergman of 42nd Street' for his psychodramatic approach to softcore; this 1985 VHS-era production finds him working with hardcore crossover stars (Amber Lynn, Rachel Ashley) in a transitional period for adult cinema.
The film's working title was reportedly 'Class Reunion' before distributors demanded something more suggestive; 'Shacking Up' tested better with the Midwest rental market.
