Insurance agent Hutch Rimes spends a lot of time at the Sleep Easy Hotel, taking long lurid lunch breaks with a string of sexy secretaries who he hires for their "special talents". Ten years ago, one of his office honeys tried to get him to kill her abusive husband.

But now it's trouble time -- there's a stalker in the suburbs who wants Hutch dead. Is it the cold-blooded killer just out of jail, the jealous husband of his latest fling, or another psycho enemy he's made along the way?
