Story
A young woman, working under the pseudonym Mistress Remedy, enters the world of commodified BDSM in New York City. Initially confident and dominant, she finds herself challenged when asked to participate in sessions where she is the submissive partner. Struggling with her habitual submissiveness at home, she must navigate the pressures and risks of this new role. The film follows Remedy's journey as she grapples with these challenges, questioning whether to leave or prove to herself and others that she can handle it.
