Fortune and perversion come together as high society darlings' expensive sexual tastes are uncovered by a curious young female writer. Aspiring novelist Anna Rose gets more than she bargained for when investigating the private lives of a group of rich and glamorous women. In this world these women are the objects of seduction and perversions as they ultimately become the playthings of successful men for whom dominance is a way of life. From blindfolds, whips and handcuffs to the sexiest lingerie and the tightest latex, this film shows what classic cinema cannot: the real shades of submission.
