...first afternoon off, he found himself with a sudden case of vertigo as he drove over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to Staten Island. He floored the gas and looked straight ahead. At his father's house, he reunited with E.J. Racked with worry and relief, and vomiting from a migraine, she went straight...
...wake up before dawn in the legendary city that never sleeps. And under the glowing canopy of a cloudless sky, having shaken off the chills of a perfect autumn morning, we swept across the starting line of the marathon in a sea of adrenaline. As we crossed the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge the glistening harbor opened before us, with the familiar figure of Lady Liberty, torch uplifted, presiding over that famous gateway of opportunity.

James Carpinello, as Tony, doesn't have a voice to swoon over, but he's got the moves, while Orfeh (just the one name, thank you) is a husky-voiced stunner as Annette, the good girl who wants to be bad. There's some grit along with the glitz--a guy commits suicide, a girl is gang-banged in the backseat of a car, and the hero's big victory is spoiled by the fact that he doesn't deserve...
