Believing she has nothing left to lose, Giselle joins Roman when he asks her on a trip. Convinced his affections will lead only to a one-night stand, Giselle keeps Roman at arm's length. Is she a fling for Roman, or is there more to it than she realizes? And...what about those magazine pictures of Roman and Leola, Giselle's twin sister?
