A religious businessman from Michigan has to venture into the world of pornography in California, desperately searching for his runaway teenage daughter.

Jake VanDorn is a businessman from the American heartland who shares strong Calvinist convictions with most of his countrymen. When his teenage daughter goes missing from her church youth convention, VanDorn hires a private investigator to find her, and the investigator spots the girl in a cheap X-rated movie. VanDorn decides to bring her back personally and during the quest he becomes familiar with the pornographic underworld.—Dragan Antulov <[email protected]>

As the police seem unable to help, desperate Jake hires private detective Andy Mast to trace his daughter. Instead, the investigator returns with an 8mm hardcore porn movie in which the missing minor is performing.
