Warning: Spoilers
Shane Newman (Brent Huff, Cop Game, The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak) has moved from Los Angeles to Hawaii which I don't think is a police transfer that works in the real world, but we're in the Fred Olen Ray universe now.

There's a reunion in town and some of the Omega Kappa Omega girls have been invited to shoot nude photos - yes, I get that this doesn't happen in most class reunions but again, we are in Ray's world - by Derek Simmons, the editor of the Cavalier Magazine. One of them, Terri Walker, is soon found strangled with a final examination certificate next to her body.

It's up to Newman and his new partner Julie Seska (Kari Wuhrer) to solve the case - cases, because women keep on taking their clothes off and dying - which has ties back to the suicide of Rachel Kincaid, a member of the class of students meeting in Hawaii.

This is a nice mix of erotic thriller, giallo and slasher with some familiar Ray stars like Debbie Rochon and Amy Lindsay. Sean O'Bannon, who wrote plenty of films for Ray (Mom's Outta Sight, Invisible Mom II, Inferno) and Fred's wife at the time Kimberly were on the script. It's exactly the kind of movie you're looking for after three in the morning, which is a positive note.

I'm all for any movies that Kari Wuhrer makes, especially if she's a sarcastic cop.
