Iris and Casey are childhood sweethearts in a small town in South Dakota. At the height of the Vietnam era, she harbors dreams of Hollywood stardom while he plans to enlist in the Marine Corps. On his last day before departure, Casey sweetly steals his girlfriend's virginity in a truly beautiful outdoor love scene. A year later, busy pursuing her career, Iris breaks off her engagement to Casey by letter to begin a "forced" romance with her lesbian agent. Years later, Casey and Iris reunite by chance while she keeps a scheduled date and he drives the taxi that takes her.
Both leads give sensitive and delicate performances as star-crossed lovers, whose romance swept most of the AFAA (Adult Film Association of America) awards the year it was released. Although 1978 was a banner year for the American porn industry, and actors were blossoming into near-legitimate superstars, it seems curious in retrospect that director Jesse Pearson cast two unknowns in the lead roles of this demanding film. She had a small role as a sex android in Sam Weston's SexWorld, and he never made another film.
