A dark cautionary tale about exploitation and desperation in the adult film industry, following a young woman's tragic descent from aspiration to victimization.

Beautiful Aliana Love moves to Los Angeles with dreams of becoming a star, but quickly realizes that, in Hollywood, you are either on the plate or in front of it. Financial woes force a reluctant but desperate Aliana into the seedy world of adult films, and porn king John Goldman is only too happy to exploit her looks and innocence - turning her into the biggest, X-rated contract star in years.
