Lisa has made quite a living for herself. She is the
proprietor of an exclusive Carribean resort where members
pay to have a slave wait on them and fulfill their every
fantasy. But she has become ambivalent. Raised in a strict
Catholic home, she has just returned from a vacation to
see her family and is having trouble re-integrating into
her "secret life." She needs a new challenge for herself--
the Club has become routine.
Elliott is a combat photographer and one of the slaves,
subjecting his will to another and being whatever he is
commanded to be. When he becomes aware of Lisa's
intentions to single him out, he resists. Their
relationship begins as a flip-flop of traditional sexual
roles. As their relationship grows, Elliott begins to want
to be loved by Lisa and to be an equal in their
relationship. But Lisa is terrified of being loved for
herself, and of intimacy and rejection. Lisa begins to act
strangely, drawing the attention of Club management and
breaking many of her own rules. They take a trip to New
Orleans as "normal" people. The Club officials are looking
for them and Lisa has Elliott return to the club. After
realizing that she loves him, she returns to the Club to
find him, but he has gone. Lisa sets out to find him and
find love, leaving the Club behind.
