Synopsis
It's a simple enough story: mismatched lovers, an old broken heart, a dream girl and no future. Gordon is a chain-smoking asthmatic with a rather rapid insipid libido. Cynthia is a slightly pudgy nymphomaniac with a bad case of eczema. After quitting his job at a Brisbane liquor store, Gordon makes a decision that will mark his life forever: becoming involved in Cynthia's manic parlor of games and chemical and sexual excess.
