Frank Lisi THE RED CORVETTE Meet Cindy Reese, a suburban high school senior, who is burdened with more than her fair share of teenage angst. Utterly friendless, she longs for the day when she can graduate and leave all her troubles behind. It won’t be easy though, as a rival of hers causes her to fail for the year. Cindy is forced to enroll in Summer School, where she finds herself seated next to the extremely sultry, yet emotionally volatile, and the daughter of a reputed mob boss, Bella Fagone. The two immediately bond then Cindy’s staid suburban life is turned upside down.

Watch as Bella introduces her new-found protege to the seedy and oftentimes dangerous world of her NYC night life, a world filled with sex, drugs, and eventually cold-blooded murder.

Combining nonstop excitement and sensual intrigue, “The Red Corvette” will take you on a ride you won’t soon forget!
