Alex Reynolds joins his lover Peter
Livesay on a trip to Los Angeles, a trip that Peter is taking to attend
his high-school class reunion. Feeling a bit bored and a bit rejected when
Peter goes to the reunion on his own, Alex rents an X-rated video to pass
the time. But Alex gets more than the expected entertainment from the film
when he spots Patrick, an old college flame, in a starring role. Being
a little bit nosy and a little bit curious, Alex decides to track down
his ex-lover and find out what has led him to such a career. Alex does
find him ... lying on the floor of his apartment. Dead.
After he's discovered the murdered body of his
porn-star ex-lover, you wouldn't think much else could go wrong in Alex
Reynold's day. But then his mother turns up, the CIA is strangely very
interested in Patrick's murder, and Alex doesn't want to know what the
LAPD thinks. Determined to find out what happened and who is responsible,
Alex (dragging his lover and his mother along for the ride) must scour
the strange world of the Southern California gay pornography industry looking
for clues. But, as they go looking for a murderer, they soon learn that
a murderer is looking for them.
