On the outside, Marissa's (Amanda Figueroa) life seems to be perfect,
she's married to a loving husband, Kris (Michael Patrick Lane) who makes
enough money to provide for them both so she can follow her dream to
become a singer/songwriter, while he's running a promising campaign to
become the state's youngest D.A. But Marissa also finds this life
suffocating, as while her songwriting career doesn't actually go anywhere,
Kris expects her to be an obedient wife and her mother-in-law (Cilda
Shaur) doesn't leave out any opportunity to mention to her she expects
Marissa to have her son's children. And then she meets tall and handsome
Slade (Lukas Hassel) in a park who has by pure chance found out about her
secret predilection for kinky videos, and he invites her to a fetish club.
Of course, Marissa is hesitant to go at first, but he knows exactly how to
play her, and eventually she gives in and ultimately lets him spank her to
Kingdom Come. A dirty little secret that doesn't hurt anyone one might
guess - but there's more to this, as the fetish club is actually run by
Slade's wife Olivia (Natasha Henstridge), and she's all but happy about
her husband's sudden obsession with Marissa - so much so that she plans to
retaliate ...
A very nice little erotic thriller that manages to downplay
the luridness of its subject matter and instead offers a multi-layered
character study while at the same time keeping things tense and erotically
charged throughout. And while the direction packs all this into well set
up pictures, the ensemble cast gives uniformly strong performances, with
Amanda Figueroa deserving a special mention for properly bringing her
complex and conflicted character to life in a relatable way.
