Chloe is a TV reporter (with a VCA necklace) who is given a bulletproof vest by Tony Tedeschi so she can spy on a senator who screws bimbos and then kills them. Turns out Tedeschi's hot tip doesn't lead to the senator, it's just Evan Stone and Kylie Ireland, but we watch them anyway. Later that night, Chloe's about to climb into bed with Tedeschi, her longtime boyfriend, it turns out, and he asks her if she'd get a tattoo for him. He was captivated by the image on Ireland's back. No. Fade to black.
Chloe wakes up with a start, and says, "I had that dream again." She goes off to her modeling job, sedately leaves with makeup guy Joel Lawrence when two other models want to be alone in the dressing room, then chastely kisses Lawrence goodnight ("I have an early call"), gets in bed, goes to sleep...
And wakes up next to Tedeschi, saying, "I had that dream again." He encourages her to get a tattoo again, and she does it this time, with an old-school tattoo artist who uses non-electric needles and employs "pain eater" Lee Stone to distract her during the process.
Until she wakes up being a model again.
The dream/reality juxtapositions are cleverly displayed, and writer Raven Touchstone may have done some heavyweight cribbing from Anthony Burgess, Luis Buñuel and the obscure Japanese film Irezumi, but the vid works. Chloe is always watchable, especially under the camera of Ralph Parfait, and director Henri Pachard can keep juggling the plot-element balls until he wants to stop, delivering seven sex scenes in various degrees of completion with heat and visual interest.
A pleasant surprise. Pre-nom for video feature.
