In between his classes, Rachel and Philip explore their passion. When another prisoner, Towler, espies the two lovebirds, he threatens to have Rachel raped by one of his henchmen if she doesn't bring him a package of drugs.

    Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but this movie was asking too much.
