For most husbands, Valentine's Day is about intimacy and romance. For Brandon, it's about submission and humiliation.

When Brandon confronts his wife Lauren about evidence of her affair with one of her clients, he doesn't get the apology he expects. Instead, he's given an ultimatum: she has found a primal satisfaction that he can't provide, and her new lover, Malik, isn't interested in hiding.

Malik is everything Brandon is not: dominant, imposing, and physically superior. He doesn't just want to sleep with Lauren; he wants to own the house, the wife, and the husband's dignity. Brandon is given a choice: lose her forever, or submit to a new role as a voyeur and a servant.

The humiliation culminates on Valentine's Day, as Brandon sets the stage for a night of debauchery as Malik claims Lauren forever.
