The two worked together for the first time and were inseparable from that point on. What seemed like a passionate porn love story would soon turn to tragedy for the lust-struck couple. In the months that followed their meeting, Lougue and Andrews allegedly became a genuine X-Rated Bonnie and Clyde. Their wild ride would take them down the East Coast to Florida where they continued their two-person crime wave with charges ranging from shoplifting and theft to murder. This is the true story of two porn stars drawn together by lust, fueled by adrenaline and driven to violence.
