When Leanne Dell inherits a former boardinig school, now an advertising agency, part of the deal is that she has to share it with an unknown partner. Arriving at the grand house, she finds herself a voyeur to a scene of bizarre chastisement. Her co-partner, Adam Howard, is administering a sound spanking to his pretty young assistant. In the weeks that follow, Leanne learns some lessons of her own; that her handsome new partner in business is a devotee of corporal punishment, and that arousal and shame are two sides of the same coin.
