It's New Year's Eve, 1989.  A party down at the office has already started.
Office workers and their girlfriends are getting it on, mainly Susan and 
Steve to start with.  They've got the party supplies, they've got the 
champagne and they've got the radio with celebration music playing in the
background.  A woman (Sheila Kelly) is watching the couple from a stairwell
and they both eventually join her for a little more fun (just pussy licking,
no penetration).  There's a knock on the [exit] door and when Steve opens it,
in walks Raymond (Ray Victory) with his date Deidre Hendriksen (Holland).  
Once they enter, they make their way past the stairwell and into a narrow 
hallway where Deidre stands up against the brick wall and they start necking. 
Moments later, Ray tells her it's time for some champagne so he heads into an 
office and leaves Deidre waiting.  In the office, Ray pulls out two glasses 
and a bottle of bubbly.  He uncorks it, it overflows and he slurps some of it
up.  After pouring a glass, he takes another sip and listens to the 10 second 
countdown to 1990.  In the background, we can see hands with gloves on and
holding a wire.  Ray slowly backs up onto some pole (?) and the killer (they
don't hide the fact that it's Randy Spears) strangles Ray.  Once his body
slumps down, Spears darts off.  Meanwhile, Deidre's wondering what's taking
so long and calls out Raymond's name.  She heads over to the office and 
notices the dead body on the ground.  She shouts "NO!!" and runs towards it.
Sheila, Susan and Steve also rush into the office to see what happened.

Moments later.  The police have already arrived and are searching the 
premises.  Detective Jon Dough questions Deidre about who she thinks could
have done it.  She has no idea because Ray didn't have any enemies.  "That 
you know of," says Jon.  "How long were you two involved?"  About three 
months, she says.  She came down to the States about a year and a half ago 
and couldn't get a job because she didn't have a green card but she ended up 
meeting some guy named Nick Johnson at a club who told her he'd sponsor her
for a job - the one she has now, managing a record store.  That's where she
met Ray and they started going out.  Then Jon asks her if SHE has any enemies,
somebody who might've hurt Raymond to get to her.  She says no.  He asks her
if she saw anything and she says no.  She couldn't hear anything either 
because of the loud radio.  So he thanks her for her time and lets her go.
Once she leaves, the commissioner (Paul Thomas) asks Jon what she said.  
"Huh?" asks Jon, as if in a trance.  Paul asks him, "You're in love again 
aren't you?"  Jon admits Deidre's a very beautiful woman.  "There's no 
argument about that but let's get back to work," Paul says and they head
off (this is the only time Judy Blue, playing another officer, can be seen
walking around in the background).
 
Deidre arrives home with her best friend (Sunny McKay).  Deidre's still
shocked about it all and Sunny tries to comfort her as best she can.  Sunny
makes them a pot of tea and they both relax in an outdoor sauna.  Deidre
says Raymond was a very good man and, in her state of despair, says she 
appreciates Sunny being there for her and for being her best friend.  Sunny
consoles Deidre further by giving her a kiss, and they end up soaking more
than just a little sun (that's the weird part: Ray was killed at the stroke
of midnight and after Deidre goes home with Sunny, the girls end up outside
in broad daylight.  Either we are led to believe that they had a second cup
of tea early the next morning or they screwed up the continuity :-).

- A sensual scene, Deidre and Sunny work eachother up slowly but surely.
It must be the quality that doesn't make them look their prettiest, but they
splash around a bit and slowly writhe in ecstacy.  Their slim bodies are
shown off well enough but the action is quite slow-moving.

The next day (if it hadn't already started with the previous scene).  Paul
and Jon get to work on the investigation.  Paul says there's something about
this Deidre Hendriksen that doesn't add up so he's going to check the record
store she works at.  Jon says he wants to handle this case.  "Don't get so
touchy every single time you look at a pretty girl," Paul tells him.  "You 
get this starry look in your eye and your head doesn't stay on the case 
anymore."  "I'm not falling for her," Jon says.  He tells Paul he already 
has a girlfriend, Lois (Rebecca Steele), who he has to go see now but will 
head over to Deidre's afterwards.

In a studio.  Lois is shouting into a microphone, practicing lyrics (that is
definitely NOT music to anyone's ears).  Jon enters the building and Rebecca
steps out of the booth to see him.  A little frustrated, she tells him, "You
know, I really need to get fucked here in order to feel my music."  Bluntly
he replies, "Nobody ever accused you of being a romantic."  "Baby, romance
don't have nothin' to do with it.  Don't be so fuckin' naive, ok?"  They kiss
and she starts taking off his belt.  Rebecca turns over to a colleague in the
room and says, "I rented this studio for a while.  Why don't you get out of
here and let us have it?"  So the man leaves and Lois asks Jon if he loves 
her.  He doesn't answer her but she begins sucking his cock and Jon has 
images of Deidre floating in his mind.  Sucking on a limp dick, Rebecca 
retorts, "Then how come your fuckin' dick ain't hard?"  He says, "Well it 
WAS hard."  "Don't insult me like that.  I've fuckin' been down here enough 
suckin' on this thing to know when it's hard.  Hey, when you're with ME make
sure you're fuckin' here with ME" (well excuse us, Miss Attitude!).  He says,
"I'm here.  You see me?  I'm here!"  So she gets him to buckle up so they can
do it all over again.  He has images of Deidre in mind again (don't blame 
him) and he and Lois finally get it on.

- Rebecca gives Jon a blowjob with a bit of tit-fucking (she has nice, medium
sized breasts which I'm pretty sure are natural).  They get right into a 
doggie and decent mish.  He pulls out and cums on her hind thigh (her leg is
raised).  Mildly tattooed Rebecca has a hard-edged look that reminds me of
Brigitte Aime but both she and Jon look disinterested throughout the scene.

"So just remember, babe," Lois tells him.  "The next time I go to take your
dick out of your pants and suck it make sure it's hard, ok?"  So she asks him
if he's going to her concert tonight.  He says he has a case to work on.  
"It's fuckin' New Year's!" she yells.  "You're gonna work on fuckin' New 
Year's??"  "Well YOU'RE working!" he says.  She replies, "I have a show to 
do!"  Then she says he doesn't WANT to go to her concert.  Angrily, he gets 
up and says she's right.  They get into an argument and he says, "Go fuck 
yourself already with your busting my chops with your bullshit songs.  Shove
'em up your ass" and then he leaves.  

So now Jon heads over to Deidre's to ask her a few more questions, like if
she knows of any people Ray may have gotten really peeved off.  Then he asks
why she came down to the States.  "Because I wanted some adventure," she 
tells him.  "I wanted to do something different.. and I guess I found it!"
"What?" he curiously asks.  She changes the subject.  "You don't look like a
cop to me," she tells him.  "Well, I am," he smiles reassuringly, but tells 
her he's not there to talk about his life.  So he asks her to think harder 
about the case, if she saw anyone unusual.  She says no.  Jon becomes more 
vigorous and leans harder on her.  "Look," he firmly says.  "Your boyfriend
is dead.  The man you loved.  Now who are you protecting?"  "Nobody!" she 
says and walks into another part of the room.  Jon walks right up to her and
kisses her instantly, without thinking.  He apologizes for it but Deidre 
wants him to hold her close, so he does.  Maybe just a little too close, 
however.  They end up undressing and making love.

- A good scene develops between these two.  They kiss and slowly undress
eachother (maybe a little too slow) then Deidre drops to her knees to give
Jon head.  She's quite eager to please.  You can tell things start to become
intense with this (then steady) couple when Jon quickly removes the rest of
her clothing before getting a taste of her.  She's laying back on the arm of
a couch as they do a mish and doggie then move their doggie over to the floor
and then get into missionary again.  Jon ends up pulling out and cumming 
without stroking himself.  Deidre even reaches over to grab him but he pushes
her hand away.  Deidre wasn't vocal at all in this scene but just her sharp
facial reactions (complete with cute dimples) made it known how much she 
loved the intensity of it.

Suddenly, the frame of Deidre's face slows down to a freeze and we see images
of the party she attended (this turns out to be hours later, when she's 
dreaming).  Sheila, Susan and Steve are on the stairwell and Deidre enters
the room alongside Randy Spears.  They watch the threesome.

- Sheila and Susan give Steve head to start with (and Susan is very much into
deep throating).  He does Susan doggie style first, then Sheila and both 
girls stroke him off together, making him cum in Susan's mouth only with no
cum swapping (decent scene).  Ray eventually joins in for a blowjob from
Sheila.  Meanwhile, down the stairwell and up against a wall, Deidre is 
touching herself.  Ray slowly heads down her way and Randy walks over to her
as well, who grabs Deidre's hand and brings it down to Ray's cock for her to
stroke.  

Deidre wakes up startled.  She and Jon are sleeping on her couch.  He wakes
up too.  Looking around he tells her, "It's ok.  Nobody's here."

The next day.  Jon goes to the scene of the crime again and tries to re-trace
how he thought the murder took place.  Then he has a seat.  "I shouldn't have
fucked her, man.  There's something she's not telling me," he says to himself.
Back home.  Deidre's in the shower.  Downstairs, we see an intruder (Spears)
enter through the front door (with 'scary' music playing in the background).
The guy slowly makes his way upstairs and into her washroom, slowing creeping 
up behind her.  She turns around and he pulls her out of the shower, asking 
her where her new boyfriend is.  "You killed him," she nervously replies.  He 
says she guessed right about Raymond but he's referring to her detective 
boyfriend.  "He's not my boyfriend," she says.  "Isn't he?" he unbelieveably
asks, then kisses her.  She calls him 'Marco' and says Jon's onto him.  
"Good," he says.  "I'll just make it easy for him."  He grabs the phone and
tells Deidre to call him.  

At the office, we see Jon receive the call.  He's told by Deidre to meet him
at a warehouse.  He says he'll be there in thirty minutes then hangs up.
"There's something she's gotta show me," he tells himself as he pulls out a
gun and makes sure it's loaded.  "Very nice," Marco tells her as he hangs up
the phone.  Then he grabs her by her hair and drags her over to a closet 
which he locks her in.  After leaving her house, Marco heads over to the 
warehouse.  Jon is already there (well, after a certain amount of time has 
passed no doubt).  It's a room filled mostly with musical equipment.  Jon 
walks around for a few moments then finds Marco strumming on a guitar.  
"Rock 'n roll never dies," Marco says as he lights up a cigarette.  "Is that
a fact?" asks Jon.  "That's a fact," Marco says then asks Jon if he likes the
song he's playing.  "It's alright," he replies.  "Deidre liked it," Marco 
tells him.  "Think you'd better come with me, pal," Jon says.  "Now why would
I want to do that?" asks Marco.  "Stay away from Deidre."  Jon asks, "Is that
a warning?"  "More of a warning than I gave poor Raymond."  Jon tells him 
he's crazy.  Marco ends up casually preparing to leave then turns around 
quickly, striking Jon with the guitar.  Jon manages to pull out his gun and 
fire a shot.  Marco tumbles off the stage he was on, picks himself up and 
limps into the other room.  Jon chases after him and ends up firing one more
shot, killing Marco (it was all poorly put together).

Jon rushes over to Deidre's house and finds her locked in the closet.  She 
asks him what the matter is, noticing the bruise on his face.  Nothing, he
tells her, apart from the fact that he was almost killed.  She said she had
nothing to do with it but he asks her, "How do I know that you weren't in on
it from the beginning?"  "I'll tell you everything," she says and they head
over near her couch.  "What happened to Marco?  Is he arrested?" she asks.
"Marco.. oh that was his name!" Jon exclaims.  "Yeah, well, he's dead.  Um..
who was he?"  After a brief moment she admits, "He was my pimp."  She 
explains how he broke into her house and dragged her out of the shower and
forced her to make the call.  "He killed Raymond," she says.  "I can believe
that," says Jon.  "He almost killed me too."  He gets her to tell him 
everything that's going on.  She starts with the time when she decided she
wanted to live in the States but couldn't get a job without a sponsor.  And
then she met Marco at a bar, who said he could help her.  She was desperate
and began working for him, as a prostitute.  There was something about him
that drew her to him, she says.  "He was so sexy.  He made everything seem
like a sensual experience."  She was willing to do anything to be with him,
to make love to him.  Meanwhile, as she's narrating all this, we flashback
to Deidre's days turning tricks.  Marco's counting her money.  {{You seem to
be a little short here.}}  {{I wouldn't hold out on you.}}  He walks over to
her.  {{I know you wouldn't.}}  He takes off her jacket and ends up slowly
undressing her.

- Deidre, dressed rather provocatively, looks quite stunning here.  Even her
hairstyle is changed (her hair is partly up in a ponytail with the rest of it
crimped).  After undressing, Randy briefly sucks on her perfect breasts (that
was then.. sigh) then climbs up to her face as she gives him head.  Then he
gets off the bed and has a seat against the wall as they both watch eachother
masturbate.  She approaches him and rides him cowgirl.  Then they're back on
the bed for a doggie and very intense mish before Deidre strokes him off to
a cum (mostly dripping down her hand).  

Deidre says she was with Marco for nine months and when she left he thought
she would eventually come back.  When she didn't, he got violent.  "He killed
Raymond," she said.  "Marco didn't like his toys to be taken away from him."
"So why'd he try to kill me?" Jon asks.  "Because you slept with me!" she
replies.  After a brief moment of silence Jon asks, "Why didn't you tell me
about Marco before?"  "Because I was afraid of what he might to do me, if
you wouldn't catch him."  She apologizes for lying and tells Jon not to hate
her.  He thinks for a bit then asks, "Do you mind if I spend the night here
tonight?  You know, it's been an awfully long day..." and they kiss.  The end
(is this supposed to be some sort of fairy tale, happily-ever-after ending?).

The storyline's weak (not to mention the way it was executed) and much more
enthusiasm would've been necessary to be able to enjoy the whole movie from
start to finish, even with a poorly constructed plot.  Deidre appeared in 
three out of five scenes that were decent enough, but she'll probably be 
considered a wasted resource by many of her die-hard fans.  It's really only 
Deidre's career that would have been 'in danger' if she had continued making
movies of this quality.
