Like a jock cup to testicles, this one comes pretty close to a Vivid feature we reviewed last year. Only Tony Tedeschi played the part of a writer wallowing in burnout and bad marriages. This time it's Peter North, and NOrth proves that 40 years of adult video acting lessons are finally paying off. Lana Sands plays the voice of North's conscience, and together, they share an id-fuck. North's editor Johnni Black tries on Sands for a girl-girl sequence that knocks on the door of nasty but retreats before the home-owner answers. Which pretty much describes the politeness of all the sex scenes.

Maya as the "hooker" lends an exotic look to the proceedings, and John Decker as North's agent smarms all over lines even Kiefer Sutherland wouldn't touch.
