The voyeuristic indie drama paints an intense, intimate portrait of discord among a frigid housewife, her philandering husband, her promiscuous sibling and an intriguing out-of-towner. When Spader arrives with a trunk load of videotapes featuring women who confess their sexual secrets on camera, he gradually turns the quartet's lives inside out.
