Homicide detective Catherine Palmer investigates a series of sexually gruesome killings of women who have been tortured to death and all have had their eyelids cut off. The investigation takes Catherine into a world of lesbianism and S&M and a group of wealthy upper class women where she is drawn to the chief suspect Vickie Kittrie, as well as Dr. Broussard, the victims' shady cross-dressing therapist. The reality however is not so obvious as it seems. A good solid and hard thriller which leaves little to the imagination. Wilson, directed by her real boyfriend Harris, plays her role convincingly.
