Plot: The story is about a man's constant struggle with his faith.  This man started  with an unquestionable believe in God.  His first test was the death of his twin brother.  Instead of following his religious beliefs of hating the sin and loving the sinner, his anger drove him to avenge the murder.  During this event he broke with God and turned to the dark side.  Ten years later he rediscovers his faith in God,  sparked by re-uniting with a long time forgotten female friend.  Again, the story takes this man to the edge by the repetition of the death of someone dear to his heart.  His female friend  was  executed in front of his eyes.   Once more, he avenges her death.  Following the massive killings, he repents and has an epiphany driving him to come to terms with the true act of forgiveness.

Plot: Three stories, interwoven, each exploring a different aspect of searching for love in the city of Los Angeles. The lead characters are interconnected, but not necessarily related, and each thread operates more or less independently. The first story explores the life of a 29-year-old virgin, Jenny, who desperately wants to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday. As she encounters one loser after another on dates, Jenny pines after her boss, Dustin. While at her grandmother's retirement home, Jenny learns a powerful lesson from her grandmother about sex and the meaning of life. The second explores two days in the life of Shane, the lead singer of the L.A. rock band Dirty Virgin. Shane has her pick of admirers but it's her roommate Dustin she wants to be with. Shane confesses having feelings for a "mystery man" on a radio show but when Dustin meets Cali, Shane's shot at love starts to dwindle. With Dirty Virgin about to embark on a world tour, will Dustin realize that he's the object of Shane's affections? Will they risk their friendship to give this Love Song a chance? The final story picks up where Love 10 to 1 left off, but from the perspective of Jim, the guitarist of Dirty Virgin. Jim sees Jenny at a swimming pool, trying desperately to overcome her fear of diving. In fact, he finds out that she's making a list of everything that she's afraid of and trying to overcome them, one by one. He is instantly smitten and tries to convince her that he's not just a rock star who 'loves 'em and leaves 'em'. Can a rock star find love with a virgin?

Plot: The story follows a young woman who, in an emotional and financial crisis, succumbs to the charm of an aristocratic benefactor. Their relationship develops from her desire to be loved and cared for and his desire to overcome the loss of his beloved setter, a loyal and devoted pet. She agrees for a considerable sum of money to become his human pet, to sleep in a cage, never wear clothes, and to be led on a leash for a period of six-months. His desire to showcase his beautiful new pet and to have her market value appraised prompts him to place her on the GSM [Global Slave Market]. His arrogance and wealth together are no match for the power and ruthlessness of 21st century slave traders. This exploration of power, trust and captivity were inspired by the prevalence of more-or-less consensual slave/master related lifestyles as well as the existence of global systemic servitude that allows for cheap labor, sex slaves, organ sales etc. There are 11 companies in the US and the UK that makes human pet cages, human auctions where the purchaser can completes the transaction through "Pay Pal", can be found throughout the Internet and slave marking listings such as branding, piercing, tagging and what insiders refer to as TPE [Total Power Exchange] for consensual slaves number in the thousands on the Internet. The GSM is modeled upon and functions much the same way as the NYSE or NASDAQ but without the pretense of regulation and with humans as commodities.

Quotes:

George: It was the greatest feeling I ever had. Followed abruptly by the worst feeling I ever had.

[last lines]::George: So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

George: Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.

Fred Jung: Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

Ermine Jung: You think people don't know you're a drug dealer. Everyone knows, its no secret. Every time I go out I'm humiliated. So you go to jail. It's for your own good. You need to straighten your life out. What are you looking at Mrs. Gracie, your son's no prize.

Mirtha Jung: We are broke, that is my fucking problem and you are a fucking spy. That's right. Always spyin', always judgin'. Everyone's laughing in your face, you fucking pussy. You let Diego fuck you in the ass. Maybe because you like it, maybe because you're a fucking faggot. That's what I think you are. I think you are really fuckin' him cause you're not fucking me. Why's that? Why? Why don't you fuck me anymore? Don't you ever touch me again, motherfucker! Don't ever put your hands on me again, asshole! Get your hands off me. [Mirtha is carried out of the car by police] He's a fugitive and a fucking cocaine dealer! He's got a kilo in his trunk right now!

Mirtha Jung: I'm divorcin' you George. I am getting custody of Kristina. And when you get out next week, you're gonna pay support and that's the end of it. There is someone else. I did not think you would want to know but I wanted to tell you. Say something.::George: What do you want me to say? I'm in prison. You should know you're the one who put me in here.::Mirtha Jung: I knew you would say something like that. Always thinkin' about yourself.

George: May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face.::Fred Jung: And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.::Fred Jung: Cheers, Georgie.::George: Cheers, pop.

George: Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one Dad. That was really something. You remember that? And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real. Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George.

George: So, what'd I tell ya, Derek?::Derek: It's great, but what am I supposed to do with it?::George: Sell it.::Derek: Jesus Christ, George, I don't see you for two years and you show up on my doorstep with 110 pounds of blow.::George: Just fucking sell it, Derek.::Derek: Okay, but it's going to take me a year.::[scene shift to interior Derek's bar surrounded by stacks of cash]::Derek: 36 hours, 36 hours, I can't believe we got rid of it in 36 hours.::George: I think it's fair to say you underestimated the market, Derek.::Derek: Right on. It's going to take us longer to count it than it did to sell it.
