Disappointed and ashamed of her past, Mercilla Kane leaves her life as an escort and delves into the mysterious world of BDSM through a chance meeting with a client.
On her quest for power and control in her life, she meets a seasoned Domme named Mistress Pandora who takes her down into The Deep; a dark dungeon where Pandora is the master of all of her eager and willing submissives. There she teaches Mercilla how to master the role of the Domme, and the important rules of the trade that must in all circumstances be followed.
Through her new role Mercilla is finally able to take back control in her life; but because of her scorn for the opposite sex, she discovers that she’s more sadistic toward her submissives than the role requires.
Mercilla grapples with residual feelings about her past as she embraces the new, exotic and exciting world that she’s been thrust into; and along her journey she meets two men who alter her life. One, a male dominant who awakens the lust and passion within her that she never knew existed; the other, an unorthodox, charismatic, but damaged client named Mr. King.
Through deep and challenging conversation, she and the latter bring each other down a path of self-realization and redemption that alters both of their lives. But along the way they discover that the things they seek the most have a way of being the most elusive.
