Francesca Leeman, a young writer, is commissioned to catalogue this very private collection. She finds her new acquaintances cultured, enigmatic -- and incredibly perverse. But in an atmosphere of perpetual stimulation, Francesca finds a strange security in their games of voyeurism, and an intensity of pleasure that she had not before experienced.
