Totally inept
In a better world, Digital Playground (the industry leader a decade back with its "Pirates" films) would be ashamed to release crap like this would-be drama, but alas, it markets this as if it were ready for an audience. It sure baffled me with its slipshod production.
The director and writer are both flunkies, not experienced Adult filmmakers, and in fact the writer "Roxy Lixxx" previously is credited with merely marketing Dig. Playground videos. What should be a simple, straightforward tale of an ex-wife (Romi Rain, overacting miserably) tormenting her ex and his new wife (lovely but stuck with no character to play Ana Foxx) ends up as a mindless, incoherent and unbelievable 3-hour-plus mess.
Only four characters appear over that lengthy time span, though star Charles Dera has a lovely and uncredited secretary who has nothing to do. Basic storyline has Romi hiring hitman Xander Corvus to off Ana, but in the middle of the film at least one crucial scene is missing entirely, throwing that plot into disarray.
After Dera is unbelievably seduced by his ex-wife and humps her endlessly in a parking garage, before regretting it and dumping her then and there, we fade up to Xander and Ana humping, even though the footage of them meeting and his inveigling his way into her life is completely omitted. After they have sex he tries to "take her away from all this" leading to instant and preposterous violence.
Just as preposterous as the finale where Romi and then Dera arrive for a stupid out-of-the-blue threesome with Ana, leading to more instant violence and a contrived happy ending that is frankly insulting. There was plenty of time to insert the missing scenes and plot twists, but instead the show opens with the same highlights sex footage repeated over and over (for 10 full minutes) as intentional spoilers before the actual movie begins -total garbage.
