Chrissy (Margaux Hemingway) is a model who houses her sister (Mariel Hemingway) in Los Angeles. When her sister’s music teacher (Chris Sarandon) is offended when Chrissy paid more attention to a phone call than his music, he sexually harasses her, beats her until she passes out, ties her up and then anally rapes her.
