Former Legends of the Hidden Temple host Kirk Fogg goes from Nickelodeon game show to gritty street thriller as the director and star of this stylish mystery about a drug-addicted, former undercover cop searching for his missing girlfriend in the dangerous Los Angeles underworld. Porter (Fogg) has just been involved in a drug deal gone horribly awry, and now he and girlfriend Rachel (Sarah Lahti) are attempting to lie low in a warehouse currently being used as a porno studio. When Porter learns that Rachel has cut a deal with the sleazy producer who runs the studio in order to bankroll the couple's flight from the city, he shamefully numbs himself with drugs as Rachel turns tricks in front of the camera for cash. Later, Porter makes a hazed-out attempt to prevent his girlfriend from completely debasing herself that ends with him blacking out and being left for dead on the banks of the L.A. River. Though he attempts to go to the police in hopes that they will help him locate Rachel, the officers all know about Porter's sordid history and fail to grasp the true gravity of the situation. Realizing that in order to save Rachel's life he will have to go it alone, strung-out Porter steals a car and hits the streets in a frantic bid to rescue his girlfriend before she becomes another inner-city statistic. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
