Radiotherapist Amanda Grace's life turns hellish after she becomes involved with young hustler Mick Burroughs.

Mick seduces the radio host to get hold of a file she has on a criminal who also happens to be one of her patients.

Amanda finds her entire career in jeopardy when Mick blackmails her and threatens to show everyone an incriminating videotape of them having sex, which also involved a female prostitute if she doesn't do whatever he says.

[4] Kate Vernon admits she passed on the project "the first time I saw the script because the material was so erotic and strong it frightened me.

Later she said yes - after being assured by Lou Diamond Phillips that the sexual content and the nudity would be handled artistically.
