A fast riding motorcycle rebel indulges in her worst vices to avoid confrontation with a mysterious serpent woman who taps into her most grotesque fantasies.
Claudia Chow is a wild banshee on two wheels, chasing the rush of dangerous speeds and any adrenaline-inducing fix she can find. Slinking back to her usual spot at the bar, she daydreams of a slithering Snake Woman -- half human, half snake, pure erotic spirit. The Snake Woman whispers into Claudia’s mind: “Your body is my body”
Suddenly, Claudia’s back on her bike, racing through the night. A crash, darkness, then she’s back at the bar, reality and illusion blurring. It doesn’t matter. Another shot. Another ride.
Later, in her bed with a stranger, Claudia is haunted again by the Snake Woman’s voice. In a panic, she strangles the Stranger to silence the whispers. As Claudia’s skin stretches and tears, the Snake Woman emerges, guiding Claudia to a profound, ecstatic revelation.
