The story

In New York City, Sofia Lin, a couples counselor/sex therapist, is married to the handsome but unambitious and slightly dim-witted Rob.

Sofia slowly opens up to new experiences; this includes a friendship with a dominatrix who goes by the name Severin.

Severin begins to help Sofia loosen up sexually; Sofia helps Severin achieve a deeper human connection than she had experienced before.
