STORY DESCRIPTION Written in the classic film noir style, this is a darkly erotic tale of sex, lust, power corrupted, a lesbian love tryst threatened by the rage of a jilted master criminal, and the betrayal of a man they hoped to count upon.
1940's Chicago is no place for a pair of lesbian lovers, and when one of them is an ex-girlfriend of the newly risen head of the crime syndicate, watch out! Only the city's greatest detective (self proclaimed and otherwise), can save them. With the homophobic Sid Balajarski on the case, surely everything will work out for the best; at least until an act of greatest betrayal places their hopes and dreams in its greatest jeopardy...
