- The film opens with Eddie Stein (Peter Dobson) arriving in Beverly Hills. As he pulls up, he pulls a gun from his glove box and tucks it in the back of his pants as a voice over between himself and his wife, Sally Stein (Adrienne Wilkinson) plays.
Sally is calling Eddie from an airport, informing him that she's heading to California in order to keep seeing her shrink. Eddie believes she's having an affair with the doctor. She hangs up the phone, insisting that she needs to do this.
Sally is lying in the bed of a hotel room. She can hear Eddie, and she rearranges herself on the bed, into a seductive looking pose, while, at the same time, faking that she is asleep. Eddie enters and places his gun on the nightstand.
He turns off the radio and Sally pretends to wake up. Sally asks Eddie if its him and Eddie questions if she was expecting someone else. She tells him no, and then invites him to sit down with heron the bed. Eddie wants to bring her home, but Sally isn't interested in leaving.
Eddie demands to know what Sally is doing here, and she becomes agitated, losing her control over the moment when she replies, "I told you why." Eddie asks how the shrink is, and Sally begins to get upset as she explains that the doctor wouldn't see her, and told her to see the shrink he recommended in Chicago. The conversation between the two quickly turns into a fight. Sally still refuses to go home with Eddie. She wants to rest, which escalates the fight.
Trying to regain control of the situation, Sally begins to seduce Eddie in an effort to calm him down, and when she succeeds, she regains control of herself and owns him.
Back in Chicago David Stein (Andrew James Allen), the son of Eddie and Sally arrives at the home of Lisa Sparrow (Briana Feehan).
Much like Sally controlled the situation with Eddie, Lisa is in full control of David. She forward and moves fast, but when the two begin to make out, Lisa's mother (Suzanne Sena), walks in and interrupts them. Lisa talks to David about his art and asks him if he'd like to draw her. When he says that he doesn't have his supplies, she pulls out a sketch book and a pencil for him. She then poses seductively on the couch. David doesn't draw, instead he moves back onto the couch with Lisa and they begin to make out again.
Returning to Eddie and Sally, Eddie is staring at himself in the mirror while Sally is in the shower. Eddie is looking unhinged and Sally offers an apology. Eddie doesn't hear her, and Sally doesn't bother to repeat it.
Back in Chicago, Eddie is seated at the kitchen table when David joins him. He asked Eddie if he brought Sally home, which Eddie has. Sally's sleeping upstairs. Eddie tells David that Sally is troubled and confused. David tells Eddie about a fight he and Lisa had because she was flirting and he got jealous. Eddie reminds David that Lisa reminds him of Sally. David asks Eddie what Sally was like back then and Eddie goes on about how smart and beautiful Sally was and how much he loves her. He talks about being fifteen, having money because he worked for his father and being happy.
He then asks David if he loves Lisa and David says he does. Eddie's reply to that is "Then it will work out. You'll see." Eddie takes a sip from glass of liquor and the two grow silent, looking at the table.
