WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
American party girl Jen (Lutz) is whisked away to a remote desert villa by her French lover Richard (Janssens), for a weekend of romance. However, they are soon interrupted by Richard’s hunting buddies Stan (Colombe) and Dmitri (Bouchède) who show up seemingly unannounced, and their hard lust for Jen leads to a shocking sexual assault, which ends with Richard pushing her off a cliff to her certain death. Unfortunately for them, she survives…
