Marie and Karen—both exotic dancers, the best of friends, young and vibrant. When Karen is accosted in the parking lot of The Fantasy Lounge one early morning, it solidifies her decision to get out of the business and the Arizona heat.

After Marie begs Karen to keep her company on a weekend trip to visit her widowed father, the cool mountain air and serene environment in Peeples Valley, Arizona convinces her that’s where she needs to be.

After settled in her new home, Karen becomes ensnared in the sordid history of the town, and her involvement brings both love and violence into her life.
