This is another original from the very talented, award winning writer/director Jacky St. James. It is a couple’s friendly dram that offers up some very interesting twists and turns throughout the storyline and plot. With a great cast of performers who give their characters plenty of life this is a very realistic story of desire, deceit, lust and a lot more that will change lives. The central character in this drama is Gabrielle, masterfully played by Dana Vespoli. She is a private investigator who has become gun shy since her last case resulted in a murder. Now she isn’t sure if she can give it her all. Still she takes on a new case and things will take on a sudden change for Gabrielle.
It begins with Gabrielle in bed with her husband (Mark Wood), going over her laptop and still shattered by the last case and how lives get ruined. Then comes the flashback of how Reagan, a married woman was having an affair, we see the sex take place and then the husband with a gun and bam! He gone! Now it is the next day and Gabrielle is going on another case, but she is still spooked when Bonnie (Syren De Mer) comes by to see if she is okay as Gabrielle sits in the car looking frazzled. She suggests Gabrielle come into her house to get some water and refresh and she accepts. They get friendly talking about family, but there is a reason why Gabrielle is in the area which becomes clear later when Gabrielle is explaining things to Mark. It turns out that Bonnie is the one she is checking up on because her husband thinks she is having an affair. Now it’s time for some hot lovemaking between Mark and Dana.
Next day Gabrielle is ready to get started and comes to realize that she left her wallet at Bonnie’s. She goes there but no one answers the door, so Gabrielle goes in and finds her wallet, then gets another surprise when Small Hands comes in and wonders who she is. Turns out he is Bonnie’s son and he has an idea that his m om might be playing around, but he has no idea that Gabrielle is the PI checking up on her. With both of them heavily tatted they hit off but nothing happens between them…..yet. Now the scene is back at home as Gabrielle tells her husband what has been going on and how she needs to approach things.
At this point we will leave the rest for you to follow and enjoy as there are a couple of twists and turns yet to come in this well done story. I will tell you the ending is not going to be what you expect with the final twist. Fact is, I would not be surprised to see a follow up coming. The casting is excellent, the settings are great, the cinematography is clean and sharp and the four sex scenes all pack a very explosive wallop. This is definitely good couples entertainment and I definitely recommend getting hold of “Exposed” from Sweet Sinner.
