Storyline

Los Angeles, 1985. With the elusive Night Stalker's killing spree gripping the city by fear, fiercely ambitious adult film star Maxine Minx nails a make-or-break audition in the glitzy movie capital of America. But just as her star begins to rise, six years after surviving the merciless massacre in X (2022) , a shady private detective threatens to snatch away Maxine's precious ticket to mainstream stardom. Now, the bloody stains of a dark past scream for closure. Can the televangelist's daughter secure her place in the spotlight, or will Maxine become a sad statistic along with Hollywood's every other dead starlet? — Nick Riganas In 1985, in Los Angeles, the notorious porn-star Maxine Minx goes to an audition for a horror movie to be directed by the famous Elizabeth Bender, who is selecting the cast for her film "Puritan II". Maxine please the director and is invited to perform the lead role in the film, despite her past in adult films. Meanwhile, the serial-killer Night Stalker is killing several people in Los Angeles. When Maxine's friends Amber James and Tabby Martin invite her to go to a party at the house of a producer in the Hollywood Hills, Maxine declines the invitation since she has a second job at a peep show to raise money and is tired. Soon her bodies are found in a cemetery branded with satanic symbols and Det. Williams and Det. Torres meet Maxine in front of her house to talk about the murders, but Maxine says that she does not talk to cops. Meanwhile, the sleazy private investigator John Labat tells Maxine that his client wants to meet her and gives his address, but she ignores him. When Labat follows her car, Maxine hits his face and breaks his nose. Maxine receives a VHS tape with the footage of her film in Texas six years ago when her colleagues were murdered and she asks her friend Leon, who works at the video rental below her apartment, whether it is possible to identify who made it. She discloses to her agent Teddy Night that Labat is chasing her and he tells her that he will solve this problem. She goes to the studio and the amicable fellow actress Molly Bennett tells Maxine that she will go to a party in the Hills. When Leon is murdered by the Night Stalker, Det. Williams and Torres realize that Maxine is the common element in the three last murders. She does not tell anything to them and goes alone to the address that Labat gave to her but is followed by the detectives. Soon Maxine makes dreadful discoveries in the house in the Hills. — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
