    Sex is better when you’re one of the undead.

    When her luggage is stolen at the Las Vegas airport, Kelly finds herself stranded and broke. Lucky for her, sexy Detective Nick Rodriguez offers her a room for the night. And when he whips out the handcuffs, she is ready to offer gratitude for his hospitality all night long.

    Of course, when in Vegas the party doesn’t stop even if someone wakes up dead....
