Free 9/26 to 9/30
A severed head in a box sent special delivery to the newlywed and cheating spouse of a rich investment banker sets off a massive chain of events designed to find out what it could possibly mean, and more importantly who sent it and for what reason.
Before having the chance to thoroughly investigate the severed head, a more personal and private body part is received in a small box similar to the first. This time it’s a box that is only eight inches long rendering the enclosed body part barely enough space to fit comfortably.
Enters our highly trained and sophisticated female protagonist Lieutenant Sadie Blue who is determined to use her fantabulous investigative skills to get to the bottom of things.
Suspects range from the nosy neighbor across the road who is jealous because she gets no nookie, to the wives of the many hot and hunky delivery men who not only deliver her sexy packages, but routinely attempt to satisfy her salacious physical needs. Charlie the plumber, Steve the electrician and Allen the service station attendant are also persons of interest?
In search of the truth, Lieutenant Blue discovers that not only does the cuckold husband know about some of these ongoing hot and steamy sexcapades, but he seems hopeless and helpless to do anything about it because of his unconditional commitment and undying love for her. But did that change?
After an extended period of highly charged discussions, soul searching and forgiveness, the two attempt to move onward and create a marriage of paradise, starting with an awe-inspiring exotic vacation in the sun. As they sit clinking their glasses, and restating their vows, a slim young waiter with pert buttocks and a cheeky smile walks by. And what do you think happens next? Yep, you guessed it!
