In one of Joe D'Amato's last softcore films, he takes on the erotic thriller genre as housewife Emy is taken hostage by a thief demanding five-hundred thousand dollars in cash in exchange for the life of her sister.  Trapped with him over the weekend, Emy goes from captive to complicit, but there is a twist.  P.O. BOX TINTO BRASS' Cinzia Roccoforte, ARABELLA: THE BLACK ANGEL's David D'Ingeo, FATAL PASSION's Lisa Comshaw, and HITCHER IN THE DARK's Jason Saucier star.
