Lucy is apparently very confident, and quite "forward," as the saying used to be; she has made all the moves to pick up a staid lawyer-type for sex. Once back at her apartment, she sets a video camera going to record their coupling. However, someone breaks into the place while they are having at it, and she is barely able to leave the bed and hide before her sex-partner is killed. She never sees the intruder's face herself. In the aftermath, the terrified lass finds herself with a sympathetic female state-appointed attorney (since she's the obvious suspect) and together, they try to track down the murderer.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Claudia Karvan was 20 and already a Scream Queen veteran; this was her second thriller with director Vendramini after 1987's 'The Big Hurt.'
Shot during Australia's early-90s genre film boom, when tax incentives briefly made Sydney a low-budget thriller factory—most vanished to VHS obscurity like this one.
