Sayer, a secretive, wealthy man, devotes his weekends to a very special vice. At his luxurious villa outside of Rome, Sayer gratifies his sadistic fantasies through elaborately staged games of master and slave and dominant/submissive. But one Friday evening, when his regular girl becomes unavailable, Sayer lures a young, beautiful journalist to be his slave for the weekend, leading to a surprisingly twisted game of terror and pleasure.
