Usually LMN movies show some plucky woman escape from some psychopaths, usually a mother protecting their kids. But in this case the two female leads are cheating, conniving murderous females who are also lesbian lovers. See Rachel wants to do in her older patronizing husband Holden who is kind of a jerk but otherwise treats her okay. So she conspires with her childhood friend and lesbian lover Carla to do him in. So to do this, they rope a hapless cowboy, Travis this is set in Bakersfield CA, their C&W rodeo town. Carla makes Travis think that they just want to blackmail rich cheating Rachel with photos of them getting it on. There is also a private detective Clay, played by Cliff from Cheers who was hired by Holden to check on his wife, The 2 scheming women use his tailings and notes as part of their alibis and evidence to frame their cowboy accomplice. There is a scene where naked Carla bludgeons Rachel's husband to death using an elephant tusk, with the plausible explanation she doesn't want to get blood on her clothes. That is the closest I've seen to porn in a LMN movie.
Events cause their plans to unravel but Carla stays one step ahead and keeps thinking of new ploys to compensate. The title. "Tick Tock" comes from the use of an old wind up clock spinning backwards to indicate this scene is a flashback. Though the endless twists become a bit too much, the dark ending is well worth the wait!
