Willow is a nerdy rich girl whose parents send her to an exclusive, all-girl high school in England to avoid immorality. Now graduated and back in California, she finds herself more than a little inexperienced with men. One day she spots an older man in her pool. He’s gorgeous, well-muscled, and entirely nude. Uncharacteristically for her, she decides he’s the perfect chance to get some experience. She soon discovers that James Hudson is indeed more sexually sophisticated than she, and also into very dark and kinky games. Before she knows it, before she understands, she is carried breathlessly along and has the most shocking, wild, intense and passionate time of her life. Worse, next day his wife shows up, and is angry that Willow has committed adultery. To make it up to her, Mrs. Hudson demands she sleep with her too.

The Hudsons pronounce the bewildered and overwhelmed young beauty their slave girl, tell her she belongs to them, and set out to train her in their shocking game of dominance and submission. Willow knows she should stop, that she shouldn’t keep going next door to experience the dark, scalding heat the Hudsons draw out of her, but she finds herself addicted to the thrilling game, to the desperate wonder of release. The things they say to her, and the things they make her say about herself, jolt her to the core, and yet fill her with a dark sense of passion such as she has never known and can’t give up.
