Storm clouds may not have formed over Boss Sexton's head - but lightning did strike when he saw pictures of Jet Set Team Productions' newest talent, Lance Storm. Lance is that fantasy mid-western boy next door who's packing more than a six-pack under that innocent exterior. Boss Sexton thought his piercing baby blues would be put to good use boring through redhead Curt Baldwin and super stud Brett Mycles.
