At first sight, Brianna (Lucy Diamante) is anything but a good match for Lia (Gaia Brooks) and Milo (Maximilian Seed) as their new roommate. Basically, while Brianna's somewhat over the top, from her weird habits to her cheap but sexy outfits, Lia and Milo, though both artistically inclined, are a pretty square couple. Then though Milo has to go out of town on some family business and Lia gets to know Brianna a little better - well enough to learn that Brianna works as a courier (and occasional sex slave) for Cashmeer (Konstantinos Angel), who has convinced her he's the only one who can get her a green card. This arrangement disgusts Lia a little, especially when she goes out with Brianna a few days and learns what a fun-loving and positive person she actually is. And before the knows it, Lia falls for Brianna, and vice versa, and they soon start having sex. Plus Lia promises to marry Brianna, (not only) to help her with her green card. So everything goes perfect between the two - until Milo comes back. And suddenly Lia finds herself in a tight spot, as while she's in love with Brianna, she still has feelings for Milo and doesn't want to hurt him. So she postpones their break-up more and more, even has sex with him - much to Brianna's dismay, naturally. It eventually gets to the point where Brianna loses her cool and leaves - and chooses going back to Cashmeer over having to deal with Lia's lack of resolve. However, the girls do reconcile - but then Brianna disappears, only for her dead body showing definite traces of violence being found in the desert a week later. This is a major blow for Lia, but what's worse is that both her and Milo are treated as suspects in Brianna's murder ...

Love Kills sure is directed with style, but not in a way that it smothers the story or acting, and the key performances are spot-on for sure - but what really makes the movie is that thanks to clever writing it manages to keep the viewer in the dark in respect to its narrative direction throughout, so in parts this is a crime drama, an awkward romance and erotic thriller, with the finale veering towards psycho horror. And what makes this movie not completely fall apart in the process is that all the central characters are well fleshed out with their motivations palpable on screen - helping to make this a pretty cool cinematic ride.
