Paige Morgan, a young author who has not yet had any significant success, has applied for a position at one of the most prestigious companies in Manhattan, Stevens International GmbH. At the helm of this company is the attractive Daniel Stevens, who serves as CEO. However, behind his charming charisma lies a deep, unsatisfied desire that Paige will soon feel because she will be his new assistant. Paige is naturally shy and has low self-esteem; she is often very critical of herself. But even though Daniel doesn't initially show any obvious interest, it quickly becomes clear that he feels far more for her than he's willing to admit. As time goes on, his attraction to her becomes increasingly difficult to hide. However, as previously mentioned, Daniel is not the man he claims to be. He has a dark penchant for brutal practices, which he carries out on women who consent to it. When Paige finds out about this attraction, she is shocked. Despite her reluctance, Daniel is determined to get her to sign a contract that will subject her to him and allow him to do whatever he wants with her. But as their affair becomes increasingly passionate, Paige begins to realize that the things Daniel wants to do with her are not within the boundaries she can or wants to accept.
