A Czech-Canadian softcore thriller where democracy dies and lingerie becomes armor. What could go wrong?
In a near future, democracy has slipped into a state of total anarchy, and slavery has become a way of life. Carla is one of those slaves who does everything she can to build a trust bond with her overseer, 'Karin.' In an unguarded moment, she, along with a group of rebels, manages to take control from this beautiful lady. Carla does not realize that her power is built on lies and betrayal. Her power can be taken away from her just as quickly as she took Karin's power: through senseless violence.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Lloyd A. Simandl built a career on exactly this: Czech-shot, English-language, dystopian softcore action films with interchangeable titles like 'Chained Heat' and 'Bound Cargo.' This is cinematic Mad Libs.
Shot in 2001 Prague exploiting cheap post-communist production costs, this represents a weird Venn overlap: American direct-to-video sleaze, European tax incentives, and the brief late-90s boom in 'erotic thriller' shelf space at Blockbuster.
