The erotic fantasies of an obsessive psychotherapist slowly begin to bleed over into reality when his relationship with his longtime dominatrix comes up from the underground in director Eric Werthman's sexually themed psychological drama. For two years, Peter has been seeking cruel pleasure in the company of professional dominatrix Suzanne. Though his wife reluctantly accepts the relationship with the understanding that what happens at the S & M house never interferes in the couple's personal life, Peter's emerging obsession with Suzanne finds the unfaithful husband scheduling daytime meetings with his mistress that clearly violate the boundaries laid out in his marriage. Now, the harder Peter pushes to consummate his relationship with Suzanne, the further away the ambivalent woman pulls. With Peter's relationships on both sides pushed to the breaking point, his rapidly diminishing ability to separate reality from fantasy threatens to spell disaster for all involved.
