LOS ANGELES — Hugo Dupre, Apolo Adrii, Guillaume Wayne, and Andolini star in the latest chapter of Alter Sin’s erotic thriller “French Connection.”

The film offers “a high-stakes story set in the shadowy underworld of elite French power players,” said a rep. “In Chapter 6, the Cabal ensures that Hugo takes home France’s Twink of the Year award — not because he needs the help, but because power never leaves outcomes to chance. With a fresh title, Hugo’s value skyrockets overnight: same irresistible boy, same dangerous allure — now amplified by prestige, access, and strategy.”

Carnal Media CMO Alan Breslaw enthused about the company’s latest release.

“Chapter 6 is where ‘French Connection’ hits another gear, and Hugo’s title win becomes pure VIP fantasy,” he said. “This CarnalPlus x BarebackPlus co-production has been a standout success, with stellar performances, undeniable chemistry, and Alter Sin’s directorial magic that keeps fans hooked chapter after chapter.”

The latest installment of “French Connection” is now available on BarebackPlus.
