What happens

Zandalee is a 1991 American erotic thriller/romantic tragedy directed by Sam Pillsbury, and starring Nicolas Cage, Judge Reinhold, Erika Anderson, Viveca Lindfors, Aaron Neville, Joe Pantoliano and Steve Buscemi. The screenplay by Mari Kornhauser is based on Émile Zola's 1867 novel and 1873 play Thérèse Raquin. Although receiving a theatrical release in some countries, Zandalee was released straight to video in the United States, to negative reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
