Victoria (Vicky Chase) is an elegant and orderly woman. She sees her marital life sink into boredom after her long-time husband, Anthony (Tommy Pistol), suffers a heart attack. Having become more of a nurse than a wife, she feels neglected, sexualized only when Anthony needs her. Her friend Sarah (Jasmine Sherni) offers her an unexpected escape: joining a discreet "House of Pleasures," run by women, where sensory pleasures and the liberation from social roles intertwine. Initially a bit hesitant, Victoria eventually takes the plunge, becoming "Aurora," a strong woman who perfectly masters her desires while satisfying those of others. What Victoria doesn't yet know is that these new experiences will upend her life in a totally unexpected way. After giving Victoria a tour of the premises, Sarah suggests she watch her make love with her partner of the day, Charlie (Isiah Maxwell), on the surveillance screens. This should allow her to soak up the atmosphere of the place and better understand her new activity. Sarah knows her friend inside out and is well aware that her initial reluctance is perfectly normal, but that in time, she will feel as comfortable here as she does at home—if not more so. Against all expectations, Victoria emerges very excited from the scene she has witnessed. That evening, as Anthony returns from work, Victoria would like to share with him what she has just experienced, but, as usual, her husband rejects her.
