When you travel into the woods, leave a trail of bread crumbs!

This is soft core porn with touches of horror. You may call it what you want, but it is still a "porn film". It's also mostly gay. So who cares about the plot? Will anyone notice?

The creators of this direct-to-DVD movie made an effort to produce something mysterious and spooky. The story takes place over the course of one long evening, as a witness ("Danny", played by David Beutler) has a detailed conversation with Police Officer Ibanez (played by Todd Tetreault). The time line jumps back and forth through flashbacks, though the overall idea makes sense.

The backdrop for this story is an area of misty mountains hovering over Los Angeles County. Some young men have recently disappeared, and possible foul play is suspected. Officer Ibanez is working on the case. Curiously, he also has psychic abilities. He learns that the young men vanished after picking up a stranded motorist ("Joshua", played by Orion Cross) on a little-used stretch of highway. To solve this mystery, Officer Ibanez must learn the identity of this lost motorist, this intriguing "siren", who lures passing travelers away... But how will he find him?

Meanwhile, as the investigation moves along, everyone is sleeping with everyone else. But of course, what would we otherwise expect? That's the point behind the movie, after all!

For a low-budget effort, this was quite well done. Not to be taken too seriously.
