CGiii Comment
The premise kind of stinks...
A plump, aging gay man rescues a 16 year old girl from being raped...and then, from her locked bedroom.....they embark on a sexual relationship while he still fucks older men...awful.
An ill-conceived, clumsily directed, pointless piece of nonsense.

The(ir) Blurb...
