Overview
When archeologist Roger receives a strange and sexy idol at his office, he is unaware of the erotic powers it possesses. He has been studying the possible existence of an ancient culture that had strangely enhanced senses through ceremonial rites and once the idol is in his possession, he is overcome with highly sensual dreams. Caught between the reality he is studying and the ancient erotic rites he is learning about, he must solicit the help of his sexy colleague Jenny - the only one who can bring him back to the present.
