Frank and Lee have marital problems: he"s been impotent for 18 months, she alternates between sympathy and criticism. His temper gets the best of him, so he"s seeing a psychotherapist who finds the anger and the impotence related. She recommends that Frank and Lee hire a mysterious European woman to lead them through fantasies intended to unlock passion and help them heal. At the same time this is going on, the police are investigating a series of stabbings: as corpses pile up, we wonder if Frank"s temper may be behind this; or perhaps it"s Eric, a cross-dressing neighbor and friend of Lee"s; it may even be the European woman, who keeps popping up with new fantasies.
