LIE WITH ME
|
Leila, a solitary and adventurous young woman, has never been in love. That doesn't trouble her, though, because what she really likes to do is watch porn, wander and have sex with strangers. Yet Leila's cool sexual knowledge is thrown into chaos when she meets David, an emotional and protective guy who needs more from her than just sex. Down in the place where sex and emotion collide, Leila begins to destroy what she craves the most. She can screw David, but she can't love him. In this unfamiliar sexual territory of the heart, Lie With Me follows Leila on a quest to discover her true needs.
