action
Maya lives in a trailer and lives off rip-offs. She seduces men while her boyfriend steals their credit cards. The dodgy Pierce offers the duo the chance to seduce the newly rich snoop Martin. His wife Corinna wants to blackmail her husband for his property and it would be paid 50 thousand dollars. After an interview, the couple agrees. Maya and Martin are now getting closer, go on shopping and boat trips, while Tony is secretly supposed to take photos. When Maya notices her resemblance to Corinna through a photo, it becomes clear that Martin is also a swindler who needs Maya to revoke his marriage contract. At the same time, however, he affirmed his love for Maya.
Pierce shoots Corinna and a little later Maya's marriage contract can be canceled. Then Martin shoots his buddy and confidante Pierce, who wanted more money. Maya rescinds the marriage contract to get rights to Martin's property. When cops show up, she testifies that she had an affair with Pierce and that Martin shot him. Photos of Tony's evidence support her statement and Martin is taken away. At one final meeting, the former couple Maya and Tony say goodbye. She drives away in her new convertible.
criticism
"Apart from the equally talented and attractive Bobbie Phillips, the film, which is packed with thriller clichés, has little to offer."
