About
A weekend of total sexual abandon is what they all need
Mike and Toni are on their way to the mountains for a romantic weekend, when their car breaks down. The couple take shelter in an empty cabin, unaware that it is being used by bisexual photographer Jan who is on an erotic shoot with model Kristin. Things get more complicated when Glen, a fashion editor, arrives. Soon inhibitions are being freely cast aside. But their reverie is broken when one of Kristin's lovers also arrives.
