Aptly named Alexa Grace, a tall and willowy blonde, is cast against one of adult entertainment’s classic flaxen-haired beauties—the elegant Julia Ann—in this Wicked Pictures feature directed by Mike Quasar. Grace plays a shy journalism student whose task is to tell the story of the mysterious woman who runs the biggest escort service on the West Coast—why she became an escort, what she thinks about the work, and when she’s going to get out of the game.

“This wasn’t meant to be a career—just a means to an end,” madam Julia Ann explains to the wide-eyed reporter. And slowly Grace begins to appreciate that end: a comfortable lifestyle funded by pleasuring men such as rock star Jack Trigger (Small Hands) and attractive businessmen (Derrick Pierce and Danny Mountain). As she meets other escorts—attractive college students earning a little scratch on the side (Melissa Moore and Blair Williams)—Grace begins to see she’s not so far removed from them.

“So, what’s it like?” Grace asks Julia Ann.

“Having sex with strangers for money?” Julia Ann responds. “The first time it’s terrifying. Soon it became exhilarating.”

The plot wraps up with a twist that’s not exactly hard to foresee, but the process of getting there is filled with solid, well-shot sex scenes. Julia Ann adds a touch of class throughout, and the DVD package offers good extras: a photo gallery, trailers, and three bonus sex scenes featuring the two stars and supporting performer Sara Luvv.
