Plot Jen and Richard take a chartered helicopter to his secluded, luxury vacation home in the desert. Jen is a young, beautiful American who wants to move to Los Angeles to be someone. She seduces him and afterwards he calls his wife to check in. The next morning Richard's friends Stan and Dimitri arrive early for their hunting vacation with Richard. Richard is forced to introduce Jen to them, as he was planning on her leaving before they arrived. That night the four of them party, and Jen dances a sexy routine. When Richard declines to dance with her, she has fun doing a seductive dance with Stan. Jen awakes to Richard being away for the morning, and Stan becoming more and more aggressive with his advances. When she refuses, he rapes her. Dimitri sees the rape but ignores it. Richard returns, berates Stan, and offers Jen money to go live in Canada. Jen demands to go home, and when he resists she threatens to reveal their relationship to Richard's wife if he doesn't call her the helicopter immediately. Richard slaps Jen and she runs off into the desert, pursued by the three men. Cornering Jen at a cliff, Richard pushes her off, and she is impaled on a dead tree branch. The trio return to the house, planning to retrieve her body after getting ready for their day of hunting.
