Carly was a dancer trying, like thousands of others, to find her way onto Broadway. But it wasn't happening. In the depth of her disappointment, she receives a once-in-a-lifetime offer to "perform" for a private men's club. They are upfront about their requirements for sex and BDSM and guarantee that she can end the arrangement at any time. She thinks of it as a short lucrative diversion from her dream.

The discipline starts on the plane carrying her to a secret destination. She is tied for hours and painfully clamped. Once she arrives, she is put in a collar harness naked and paraded on a leash past leering baggage handlers. Things go downhill from there.

She thinks about quitting, but the money, her pride, and a growing attraction to the freedom and the extremes of the dominant lifestyle hold her back.

Her desire to stay increases when she makes a friend, Ann, who becomes her bondage-lover. She also meets Jason, a billionaire that the club is desperately trying to recruit as a member. Jason selects Carly as his club-companion, but they seem to be a match made in Hell. After a final argument, complete with a vicious spanking, Jason flies back home and Carly is sent to another location for more intensive training.

The memory of the girl haunts him, however, and he returns to try and reconcile. Despite her extreme bondage circumstances, she rejects him again, claiming that she's gotten used to harder men. Jason, who sees himself as a normal guy, spends some time at her location and is unavoidably toughened by contact with the lifestyle, which is dedicated to correcting the behaviour of the girls who fail the club in some way.
