Anne-Marie DeVernet, Penny Irving, is a naive French model who appears at a glittering London art-gallery party. The evening takes a sharp turn when she learns her photographer boyfriend has just exhibited a shot in which she is depicted being arrested for public nudity. The humiliation drives a rift between them, and Anne-Marie leaves the party feeling exposed and alone. Seeking a refuge from scandal and scorn, she is drawn toward a mysterious, enigmatic figure at the gathering, Mark E. DeSade, Robert Tayman, whose opaque charm and promise of escape tempt her to trust him. He invites her away to his secluded country estate, a private sanctuary that promises safety from the prying eyes of the world outside.
