As the manager of some of the largest fortunes in France, a banker (Benoît Poelvoorde) promises his mistress $1 million (Laetitia Casta) and marriage down the line. In the meantime, during their nightly escapades, he asks her to indulge him in S&M games as a form of penance for his attitude with others during the day – for every bit of torture he dispenses, at night she whips him into submission from her perch atop her stilettos. But she doesn't do it for the money. Deeply in love and somewhat cowed by his increasingly cruel demands, she's ready to do anything to bring her banker closer to the ultimate form of justice – death.
