Plot
Dominatrixes Sasha, Jess, and Angelina work under the supervision of head mistress Marie at a BDSM den, where they inflict pain and humiliation upon their male clients. Jess is a free-spirited exhibitionist and Angelina is married to a client, while Sasha has avoided relationships because of her occupation. Wanting to change Sasha's outlook, Marie sets her up with a blind date she tells Sasha is her friend's son.
After completing their shifts, Sasha meets her date Daniel at a bar, Jess engages in cunnilingus with a young woman in the bar's restroom, and Angelina and her husband enjoy a private romantic evening. Sasha and Daniel remain at the bar until closing and Daniel convinces Sasha to accompany him to a park. The two spend the night together and fall asleep on a bench.
