Noelle, a sometimes prostitute aching for a fix after three months of parole-enforced abstinence, is desperate for cash. Noelle's money-making plan for turning a kinky threesome trick changes when her usual partners are busy and her long-lost brother Chris returns. What follows is a hypnotic dance of blurred moralities and incestuous explorations. For 90 real-time minutes the siblings push each other through often violent examinations of lusts and weaknesses spanning drugs, love, death and power. They trade control and fantasies in a debate between destroying and reconciling with the other. By experimenting with the many manifestations of love, the result is a blunt, passionate, and darkly comic look at two people struggling for salvation.

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Yields to the worst cliche of all: the art film that goes absolutely nowhere.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
A movie that uses digital video not as a technical gimmick but as an aesthetic tool -- in this case, a tool to pry open an essentially theatrical piece and pump in cinematic life, all without losing the intensity of the original stage experience.
-
Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
What we have here is little more than two characters talking. And it's riveting.
-
Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
A two-person play of a brother's and sister's verbal and physical battle with each other involving drugs, sex (including incest). Thoroughly unpleasant.
