'Alison knew that her feelings were contraditctory to her situation. The strangely exciting man who was now holding her captive could take her any time he wanted. He had only to adjust her clothing slightly in order to ravish her there and then; in front of an audience. The thought of it was perversely thrilling.'

Alison is a control freak. There's nothing she enjoys more than swanning around her palatial home giving orders to her wealthy but masochistic husband and delighting in his humiliation. Her daily routine consists of shopping, dressing up and pursuing dark pleasures, along with her best friend, Belinda; that is until they are kidnapped and held to ransom. In the ensuing weeks both women are required to come to terms with their most secret selves. Stripped of their privileges and deprived of the luxury they are used to, they deal with their captivity in surprising and creative ways. For Alison, it is the catalyst to a whole new way of life.
