Catherine, a blossoming film student whose sexuality has been recently stirred, finds herself drawn into a secret club where the world's most powerful people meet to explore their deepest, often darkest sexual fantasies. But even as these new experiences open intense new pleasures for Catherine, they also threaten to destroy everything she holds dear. In her debut novel, Sasha Grey takes us inside a private, high-profile, sex society where anything and everything can happen.

Several years have passed since Catherine's time in The Juliette Society, and her life with her fiancé Jack has become predictable and boring, especially in the bedroom. Now working as a journalist, she struggles to find inspiration in her work or at home - until a routine story about the death of a publicly beloved model, Inana Luna, quickly becomes Catherine's obsession. Inana's experiences reflect Catherine's own blossoming sexuality and independence, and the story takes Catherine down a road with too many familiar facets.
