By day he is a well-paid broker who talks elderly clients into financial products; by night he goes down on his knees to a mistress at an S&M club. Wanting to see a world that only a total slave can see, he pushes for ever more brutal sessions, close to the edge of death. A second story crosses two worlds as well: a teacher at a school for announcers and his student, master and servant in one and roles reversed in the other.
