Lauren Michaels is exhausted with the push and pull of copy editing for Los Angeles's woman's magazine, Frenzy, which caters to pop culture, style, and above all, sex.

She wants to write for the magazine rather than edit, but her boss is convinced that Lauren's conservative tendencies won't fit in with the risqué nature of what Frenzy is about.

Convinced to make her mark, Lauren begs for the chance to prove her self.

Her boss agrees, tasking her with the impossible, in hopes of failure, because although she doesn't want her to become a journalist, she doesn't want to lose her as Editor-in-Chief, either.

Her daunting mission? To investigate the growing popularity of sex clubs in Los Angeles, and figure out how the sensual underworld functions.

Out of her element, Lauren starts her search with pen and paper in hand at a local sex shop, hoping she'll find a trail that leads to the dark lairs of sex and fetishes.

Trying to hide her inexperience, and pretending she's a professional sex kitten, this trail instead leads her to one brooding, Nathan Sanders.

He's daunting, charming, and a little too dark and mysterious for her taste, but Lauren knows he's what she needs as her way in.

What she doesn't see coming is that Nathan is all too willing to invite her to a nightclub she's only ever heard stories about, and also the fact that Nathan know's Lauren doesn't have a clue what she's getting herself into.

However, he can't turn down the idea of helping her out with her research once she confesses the whole story.

This could be fun, they said. There's no harm in it, they agreed.

Little do they know, a little research can serve up some unexpected results.
