From the opening moments of Ahasss, Jake finds himself in the hands - literally - of the women around him.
As played by Gold Aceron, virginal Jake has a believable mix of vulnerability and integrity that makes you care about the murkiness he finds himself thrust into without just seeing him as a sap. This sense of layering is also found in the work of Angela Morena as the heroine (or some might call her anti-heroine) Adelyn. No one else in the cast has much of a chance at playing a character, but points go to Ian Curtis for embodying every "ugly American" stereotype as Adelyn's truly monstrous husband Mr. Stonehill, and Janelle Tee as Jenny, Jake's fellow servant, who suffers from more than her own share of Stonehill's abuse.
Even as the script goes where you would easily expect, the performances of the leads and the chemistry between them maintains your interest. And the final scenes are surprisingly affecting.
