[2] Lucy (Leslie Hope), her husband Michael (Victor Ertmanis), and their business partner William (Dan Lett) are the owners of a small publishing company in Toronto.
The stability of their lives are thrown into an emotional maelstrom with the arrival of Sloan (Peter Outerbridge), a former boxer-turned-writer whose first book (based on a serial killer) is about to be published by their company.
Sloan gets in over his head when he embarks on a steamy affair with the sexually ravenous and frustrated Lucy, who longs to re-create her S&M-filled days in Paris gone by.
In addition to her job as publisher, Lucy is also an erotic novelist exploring whether a weekend of sexual passion with Sloan can liberate her from writer's block.
All in the while, Lucy's befuddled husband, Michael, slowly goes crazy over learning of his wife and business partner's dalliance with his client until he decides to join in on their bed-jumping as well.
