Jem is a petite, flame-haired, blue-eyed businesswoman. Lucy, tall, blonde and athletic, is a detective inspector. Julia is the slim, dark, bored wife of a financial speculator. Each arrives seperately in the strange, ritualistic, disciplined domain known as the Private House. Once they meet, nothing in the House will be the same again - nothing, that is, except the strict regime of obedience and sexuality.
