Kaylan is wild. Wild about anything that walks. Be it male, female or otherwise. Her boyfriend is hopelessly, helplessly committed to infidel Kaylan, even when faced with her twin sis who attempts to seduce him. Needless to say, a rather odd love triangle develops. Between a man in love, and a sister in love...between the faithful, and the faithless. Between three hearts.
