Aiden (Tim Pocock), a down on his luck police officer and struggling sex addict, goes undercover in the Sydney Queer scene to take down glamorously evil drag queen Fat Frankie (Paul Capsis). There he meets Cody, a drug-addled bartender and sex worker with a magnetic charm, whose seductive nature leads Aiden to enjoy his undercover lifestyle a little too much. As he digs deeper into the criminal underworld that exists in the back of gay bars and the extravagant private parties of the rich, the lines between friends, enemies and morality become a blur. 

Chock full of twink-mobiles, cock cages and camp humor, Body Blow is an unashamedly queer, excessively horny and hilarious take on the genre that isn't afraid to take risks – it’ll be seared into your brain from the moment the credits roll. Bring your friends and have your safe words at the ready for the kinkiest cinematic party of the year.
