Storyline

Posy Pinkerton needs to step out of her shell. For this late-20s serial monogamist, life has been smooth sailing. She's got Tom, her doctor fiancé; her burgeoning career as a medical illustrator and a side hobby as a visual artist. But after a chance encounter with Jack, a handsome and worldly businessman, Posy's shell begins to crack. She finds him mysterious and he finds her charming, and for Posy it is an opportunity to try on confidence for size. Posy is reluctant to take it any further than petty flirting, but her cousin Laura, her polar opposite, pushes her for one last fling before settling down with Tom, her one and only. Posy's growing desire to break free allows her to exercise her inner self with Jack, an alter ego she's created called the Queen of Sin. Little does Posy know, as she's being swept up by Jack, she's really making a deal with the devil.

Goofs

When Jack meets Posy in the park at 6 am, it's already been established that she meets her cousin there every morning for a run. Therefore, his offer of a "ride back" makes no sense; nor does her reason for refusing (she refuses because she won't get into a car with a stranger, not because she is waiting for her cousin, who arrives a few minutes later).

User Reviews

Decent production values conceal a Z-grade thriller

I should have known better. The basic plot summary alone indicated that this wasn't going to go well, but yet I watched this. Initially it went well: a fair amount of intrigue and a slick production made me think this might actually be worth watching.

However, it quickly became apparent that this was your average Z-grade thriller, just dressed up as something better. Plot becomes nonsensical, performances are poor: there's nothing going for this.

Avoid.
