Adrian (Seth Gamble) is an expensive male escort who serves Hollywood’s elite. However, his heart lies with Willow (Aiden Ashley), the beloved wife of Jack Davis (Evan Stone), one of Hollywood’s most influential and powerful producers. Jack is a cruel man who loves power above all else, and despite her feelings for Adrian, Willow is afraid of risking leaving her husband. Inspired by his belief in true love, Adrian is determined to find a way for him and Willow to be together. Together, Adrian and Willow will discover whether true love conquers all or whether reality is the hammer that crushes the end of fairy tales.
Dana Vespoli directs her first feature as a director for Wicked Pictures, and boy, is it a doozy! She opts for a serious story full of tension and danger. It’s the kind of story made for feature film porn, and Vespoli assembles the right cast to pull it off. Seth Gamble is excellent as always, and Aiden Ashley is a natural fit for stories like this with her distinct intensity as a sexual performer and stage actor. The legendary Evan Stone embraces the sinister role he has become synonymous with in his later years, and Cam Damage plays the perfect sidekick character trying to save his friend. It’s a recipe for success.
Adrian and Willow share an incredibly intense sexual encounter early on, allowing the viewer to really understand how passionate their relationship is. They’re all over each other: their hands caressing every inch of each other, hugging each other tightly as if they might never feel each other’s touch again if they let go. Their sex is powerful and intoxicating (my God, the side missionary is incredible!), and the audience doesn’t want it to end.
Conversely, Adrian’s trio with Maya Woulfe and Ramon Nomar lacks that emotional weight. On the contrary, this scene is all about sex for sex’s sake. The connection is built on surface-level pleasure. Ramon is cheerful as he tackles Maya, who is completely willing to be used – and Adrian goes along because he gets paid to do so. It stands in stark contrast to Adrian’s deep bond with Willow, and it shows the contradiction in Adrian’s life. It’s a strong dual storytelling and extremely hot.
Coco Lovelock finds herself in the nefarious clutches of Jack Davis in a stereotypical casting couch moment. Hoping to star in Davis’ next big project, Coco gets laid (on Jack’s literal couch) without even reading the script. Evan is as smarmy and creepy as the boogeyman producers from Hollywood’s Dark Ages, and Coco is every bit the innocent starlet blinded by her aspirations for fame. It’s a story as old as time, and these two play it perfectly. Evan feels like he doesn’t care about anything other than getting his rocks off, and Coco feels like she’s putting her all into a bedroom audition. She squirts all over him like a geyser at one point and experiences a few brain-melting orgasms to boot – all while Jack grins like a maniacal villain basking in his corrupt glory.
Adrian and his best friend Jamie (Cam Damage) are booked together for a threesome with Jessie Saint while a mysterious masked man watches. Again, the sex is devoid of emotional passion, but rather filled with carnal lust. Jessie wants to be treated like a whore, and Adrian and Jamie are more than happy to do so. But ironically, it feels like this sex is a farewell to everything. Both Jamie and Adrian are ready to move on, and this is their farewell to the carnal underbelly of Hollywood. Jessie and Cam look fantastic, and Cam handles the strap-on like a true champ.
This is a good movie and Dana Vespoli is a good storyteller. Wicked should find reasons to bring her back for more.
