Storyline

April has just graduated from an exclusive Southern college. She's just returned home to her family mansion to prepare for her semi-arranged marriage to "the right man", a man approved by April's father, a Senator. During a trip to the local fair, April meets Perry, the kind of man she always wanted but never knew. Her parents are aghast, as Perry is exactly the kind of man they don't want her associating with. April must reconcile the expectations of her family and her fiancée with the passion she feels for Perry.

Richard M. Tyson and Sherilyn Fenn are super hot together. Great movie, much better than the Zalman King's first hit movie, "9 1/2 Weeks". The whole scenario of rich Southern belle meets muscle bound trucker is campy, but steamy. Look for great cameos by Herve Villachez and Christy McNichol. One of my favorites!
