When a mysterious letter arrives threatening to expose her, Isadora is to face her demons and do whatever it takes to keep her secrets safe ... even if it means losing herself. Also featuring Jenna Sativa and cameo appearances from some of Girlsway's most popular actresses, Project Pandora is a feature that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat and your pants unzipped.
