    a fun ride!

    If you're in the mood for lighter fare, look no further than this fast-paced, slightly tongue-in-cheek thriller by openly gay director Todd Verow. After his best friend dies of HIV complications, John (cute Tim Swain) takes a job with Solange (Mahogany Reynolds), a glamorous disco diva and B-movie actress whose career has seen better days. For a chronically unemployed woman, Solange seems to live the high life: she and John jet-set to Paris, Berlin and Milan, where she meets with "contacts," each of whom has a fling with the starstruck young man. To his horror, John finds out where Solange's money comes from these days: she's a hired killer! And he's involved!

    Shot on location across Europe, the film stretches credibility to new heights. But it's a fun ride every step of the way.
