This is a murder mystery- erotic and romantic and emotional. Two children have disappeared. The mother is a voluptuous, sexy hostess at a strip joint, and the tough-talking detective investigating the possible kidnap or murder case plays a cat-and-mouse game with her. He is relentless and their relationship becomes an unusual and intimate dance. He pushes her and pushes her to confess that she murdered her children, but he gets more than he bargained for. It is seductive. It is provocative. Twists and turns and surprises. Sometimes sexually explicit. Takes place around 1972.
Keturah Hamilton (New Amsterdam, Starlets) portrays Eileen. Antonio Jaramillo (Mayans M.C., Shades of Blue [opposite Jennifer Lopez], Queen of the South, Meet the Browns) plays Brann.
