After almost eight minutes of promotional intros (the same two-minute intro, played four times) Hot Nights Cold Blood starts with a distraught Danny D. pleading for his life as Abigail Mac draws down on him. Freeze frame. "You're probably wondering how a girl like me got into a situation like this." CUE FLASHBACK.
Mac is a waitress at a strip club, pissed off that her boyfriend was chatting up a house dancer. Their back-alley argument escalates to fisticuffs, upsetting club owner Sal (Danny D.), who had stepped into the alley for a quick smoke. "Whachoo doin' wi' my staff?" Sal bellows, chasing him off. When Sal introduces himself, Mac allows that she won’t be working there long: She needs a better gig because she's barely making ends meet now and doesn’t have a roommate anymore. "Say, 'ave you thought about dancin'?" Sal asks her. "You're a tough cookie. We could use girls like you about." Her "audition" doesn't involve a lot of dancing, but she lands the gig.
"I later found out that he's a member of one of the most notorious mob families in the country," Mac says in voiceover. "Just my kind of guy." When Sal hands her a sheaf of bills—"An advance on your first paycheck"—she throws it back in his face. "You think I'm a whore?" Later that night, Sal's wife Gia (Nicolette Shea) finds Mac's G-string in his office, and is furious: "That motherfucker is going down, if it's the last thing I do!"
Mac and Sal continue their affair, and Gia plots against Sal with henchman Bobby (Jay Snake), keeping him in line when he decides to get out by pointing out Sal would kill him if Sal knew he was fucking her. Back at the club, Mac loses interest in dancing ("Back to my old cynical ways") when Sal loses interest in her. "I thought he'd stick longer," Gia tells Mac, and they bond over their shared contempt for Sal. The wheels begin to turn.
Instigated by Gia, Mac sends Sal's new stripper squeeze Stephanie (Anny Aurora) to fuck Bobby, while Mac is innocently on stage. When Gia shoots them on her phone and shows the footage to Sal, the infuriated mobster grabs Bobby and takes him out in the alley. Bang. "This is how we do things around here," a cool Gia tells a surprised Mac. Mac joins up with Gia, and they set up a "Valentine's Day surprise" for Sal, taking us full circle to the opening.
Lengthy sex scenes offer value for online subscribers, but would have benefitted from some trimming for DVD release. A good choice for an active features shelf.
