A Sweet Sickness

A rising star's world is shattered by a chain of traumatic occurrences, leading them to face the brutal truth about the cutthroat world of show business and the crippling effects of celebrity.

Two aspiring actresses, Dee and Connie, share a small LA apartment and dream of becoming Hollywood stars. Connie's more successful due to her willingness to take risks, including sleeping with powerful men. After Connie leaves for a job in Las Vegas, Dee is raped by their sleazy landlord. She then takes a job at a strip club, where she's forced to fulfill a client's demands. Meanwhile, Dee's talent agent auditions women who are willing to strip for roles. Connie hooks up with a hippie in Las Vegas. As Dee searches for a new apartment, she's drugged and photographed in a compromising position by a perverted Realtor. After the police dismiss her story, Dee decides to follow Connie's advice and use her body to get ahead in the industry.
