While Pamela Anderson plays only a small role in the plot, much of the advertising and even the film' tagline ("She's about to bare her soul... and all that goes with it") is focused on her. [ citation needed ]

Anderson was said to have performed in full frontal nudity only in the unedited video version. [2]

Plot

Edward, a scientist doing research in an attempt to read and record people's thoughts, has a relationship with his artist girlfriend Britt. The extensive time he puts into his research leaves him little time for his relationship with Britt. Just as Edward is about to give up on his research, he is contacted by the mysterious Everett Longstreet who offers Edward both a place to do his research and unlimited funding. As Edward gets closer to making a breakthrough with his research he becomes suspicious of Everett and his ulterior motives as he realizes that he is getting closer to not only unlocking the mind but also the secrets of eternal life.
