Synopsis

A modern southern California version of Beauty and the Beast . When agent Leslie Horowitz's car breaks down in the Mojave Desert, he seeks refuge in the home of millionaire Henry Wallace Breeze III, whose face was destroyed in the Vietnam War. Breeze has a large film library and is familiar with Horowitz's client, the beautiful actress Rebecca Weiss. He will allow Horowitz to leave only if she takes his place. Love and sex follow; no fairy tale, this.
