Juliana Sells, psychologist to Chicago's wealthy, listens as patients share stories of BDSM and encourages strength, equality and independence. Allowing a man to dominate her life, will and body seems incomprehensible; until she encounters Detective Derek Terrill. Brought together by fate, the detective is required to see Dr. Sells for counseling related to a police-action shooting. During their last session Detective Terrill confronts Dr. Sells, telling her he senses her obvious submissive tendencies. He challenges her to confront her unmet desires and explore submission, sexual slavery and discipline.Unable to deny her attraction or physical response, Juliana agrees to meet him, even obeying his absurd demand to appear without pantyhose or panties. Upon arrival, she's shocked and humiliated to discover his lesson includes physical punishment. During her spanking he introduces her to the world of pain mixed with pleasure. Seemingly incomprehensibly, Juliana discovers pleasure intensifies exponentially when associated with agony. She succumbs to the incredible turn-on she experiences at his hand. The next evening she meets him, at Inferno, a BDSM club, where Terrill works security. She witnesses scenes of female domination and quickly deduces the small silver locket Derek required her to wear has meaning, both as protection and informing others she is "owned". While there, Juliana not only witnesses submission, she experiences it. Physically Derek demands oral gratification and stakes his claim on her virgin anus. Mentally he requires her to behave in a degrading manner. Submitting to the public humiliation and physical degradation makes her hot and wet. Yet, she questions why a woman would want to give-up herself to be someone's property. He explains it's not about giving-up. It's about consensually submitting to your master's control. He proposes a weekend of total submission, where at the conclusion, she can decide if she is willing to call him Master. Can a weekend of degradation, subjection, pain and passion all at the hands of a dominate man change Juliana's life forever?  Is the pain he inflicts too much for the pleasure, or has Juliana finally found the man she's willing to call Master?
