Passion wears a mask of terror in this strangest of all games!
Wealthy and bored, Paul and Jennifer Montgomery spend their time in a New York City apartment filled with various amusements.

The couple let her spend the night, and soon, the sophisticated Lisa and her hosts embark on a new set of very adult – and very dangerous – games.
