Sexy, mischievous Asa Akira is a masseuse with a mission - to bring every client to physical ecstacy. But head masseuse Bobbi Starr warns the Asian beauty against "happy endings," despite her own weakness for older blonde lesbian Kate Kastle. When new girl Zoe Voss comes on board, Asa tells her to give the clients "what they want," so Zoe gives Evan Stone a "full body massage" - and more. But when Zoe learns Asa's secret agenda, she turns the tables on the gorgeous vixen, and revenge has never been so sweet. Written and directed by Nica Noelle.
