David (Troy Ruptash) is a creatively stifled painter in desperate need of inspiration. As happenstance would have it, while seeking a job waiting tables, David stumbles upon a new muse in the form of a strapping diner owner named Matt (Vince Corazza). In short order the two bond over a shared love of art, and before long their passion for painting transforms into something more torrid. If it weren't for Matt's wife, Violet (Cherilee Taylor), everything would be perfect.

Not a *5* star movie, but definitely a *4* star film, good looking people in a three way relationship, but the artist does catch the married man, because he thinks the portraits of him are *hot* and you just have to see this movie play out!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Other's may frown down upon this movie because a straight man is turned into a bi-sexual but the movie has lots to it!!!!

I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel after the movie ended. In fact, I didn't really care too much about any of the characters at all. The only one I was remotely interested in was Matt, and that was partly because Vince Corazza is smokin'. If I were to watch this again, it'd probably be because I want to see Vince engage in simulated sex and not for the plot.

A good movie moving and some kind of off beat acting.In a round about way tells you how hard it is to express your feelings to 2 seperate people,and make them understand that you love them both and you want to be with them both.....Doesn't work.

This story might be leaving Metropolis, but it didn't dress for the occasion.

Stagily presented, the characters always seem to have lots to say and not enough time to say it.
