A thirty-nine year old author suffering writer’s block and a twenty-nine year old college graduate meet one night while having drinks at a local watering hole. Despite both being married, they met regularly for increasingly more adventurous sex including participating in orgies, sadism, drugs and more.
It was never about love, which is just as well when the relationship, such as it was, concludes in a dirty bathroom stall.

Still, that is the point of this strange exploration of sex and perversion, haunting in its stark nakedness.
