This film want to be about a young man on a road trip through the desert, on his way to visit a lover from his past but it quickly turns into an erotic thriller that will keep you guessing up the last scene. It also kept me guessing after the last scene too. What was all that about?
The plot centers around '
Teddy', a budding novelist, has traded the big city for his professor's desert home in California to work on completing his first novel.
There he meets Leo, the estate's handsome young caretaker who shows Teddy the ropes of living in the arid wilderness. Teddy is instantly smitten by Leo's sexy and casual demeanor, but after he seduces the caretaker one night, he begins to expose a series of layers that seem to conceal the real Leo. Was Leo once married? Did his wife die under mysterious circumstances? And what is the true nature of his relationship with Crispin, the gay gentleman who owns and controls the desert house where the two young men frolic?

You get the jist, with a fit and sexy cast –
John Ort as
'Teddy' and
Gregory Marcel as '
Leo the caretaker'. who enjoy taking their cloths off and showering a lot ( it is
hot in the desert!) and who seem to have a real connection with each other, particularly in the sensual lovemaking scenes this is a steamy erotic thriller with some surrealist and sexual charged imagery with a oddly disturbing dark edge to it, it’s kind of like Bergman-lite, but more fun.
