With nothing better to do and being in need for money, Leah (Jennifer
Mae) decides to become a cam girl. After all, she doesn't mind stripping
down in front of strangers and masturbating, and is capable of handling
dirty talk from faceless perverts with the necessary amount of charm. One
thing she really wants to get out of this: Enough money for her girlfriend
Alina (Victoria Fox) - yup, she's actually a lesbian - to fly over to her
folks in Romania ... and she succeeds in that before too long. But once
Alina's out of the country she continues camming - after all, it is easy
money ... Hal (Kristian Hanson) is a very lonely guy, an eye-patched
deployed army veteran who has severe social issues, especially regarding
women. But when he watches Leah on cam, he lightens up. Plus he's her most
frequent tipper and thinks of all the perverts who watch her she has
picked him as her favourite "guest" ... Eventually, Leah
starts a raffle, with the lucky winner getting to take her out to dinner -
and Hal's sure that he will win, after all ... well, she must know he's in
love with her. But when instead of him, "Bonestorm" (Carlos
Velarde) is picked, he pretty much loses it - and proves to be pretty
handy when it comes to tracking people down. So he beats Bonestorm to a
pulp - even if Leah had a very nice and relaxed evening with him -, then
gives Leah threatening phonecalls and sends her inappropriate messages.
But eventually, this isn't enough for Hal anymor ... Now I'm
sure there are plenty of people out there who will be turned off by BB's
controversial topic and maybe even the amount of female nudity - but once
you can see through that, you'll find a very tense thriller that's almost
uncomfortable (for all the right reasons) to watch, as it shifts
perspective between its two protagonists very frequently, a shift between
a psychopath and a tortured soul, and it's all only heightened by
extremely nervous camerawork and editing, and a intentionally slightly
erratic sound mix. Plus, the two leads, despite alledgedly being amateurs,
bring their all to the movie!
