content

The film is about the porn actress Tulip (Taylor Hayes), the director Curry (Dale DaBone) and the cameraman Kyle (Voodoo) who believe they can make the breakthrough. The three travel from Oklahoma to California at the invitation of producer Trent Morgan (Paul Thomas) in hopes of making a career. Soon, however, the three find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue and suspicion.

action

Tulip, her boyfriend Curry, and Kyle are three friends from Hicktown , Oklahoma . Curry hopes to thrive in the porn industry by making homemade films starring Tulip, which are filmed by Kyle. Curry has no qualms about the fact that his girlfriend plays in the films. In the first scene of the film, the viewer gets a glimpse of Curry's skills as a director during a sex scene with Brad and Tulip. The wobbly camera work and interruptions show the trio's not very professional work. Nevertheless, the three get an invitation from famous director Trent Morgan to come to Hollywood . They load their van and head west.

When they arrive in Hollywood, the three pass their time in Morgan's studio by watching a professional porn set. In the style of all the films that show Hollywood studio grounds full of actors dressed as astronauts, gladiators, etc., Tulip and her friends see a double Marilyn Monroe with a dress blowing over her head, and a scene with Julie Meadows, Adaja and a male actor in Egyptian robes.

After this, Tulip, Curry and Kyle finally meet the dazzling director Morgan and his strange companion Talon. Trent, obviously only interested in Tulip, wastes no time in having her star in a movie. The fact that Curry and Kyle are being ignored and that she hasn't signed a contract yet doesn't prevent Tulip from starring in a scene with Joey Ray at a diner. Meanwhile, Curry feels increasingly jealous at the sight of Tulip and Joey in action and can't get a straight answer from Trent regarding a possible contract. Curry then reacts to some of his pent-up frustration in a threesome with Tulip and Taylor St. Clair, a well-known porn star and member of Morgan's inner circle. Later, Trent tells Curry that he secretly filmed the threesome because it showed "real sex" between "real people" and not the other boring porn stuff. Angry at being taken advantage of by Trent, Curry tries to convince Kyle and Tulip to leave town with him. However, neither are interested in it. Curry is slowly losing his temper and Julie Meadows tells him about the extent of Trent's manipulations and that they went further than Curry could imagine.

The film switches to a story about a director who, without his actors knowing, tries to make a film based on reality, a psychological drama in which everyone, knowing or not, plays a role in Trent's play.
