A story of innocence, sex, betrayal, romance, trust, murder...and secret identities Attractive and college-educated Jessica Ross loves her job playing piano at Valentina's, a classy Brentwood, CA restaurant. It helps her forget her crumbling marriage. Her apartment holds all that matters; pictures of Italy, the country she longs to visit, her framed college diploma...and her piano. Suddenly, Valentina's is sold and Jessica is out of work. Her close friend Suzanne mentions a job she knows about as a receptionist at an elite massage parlor called Diamond Jim's, owned by Volpe, a mysterious figure no one has ever met. Jessica refuses, but once the bills pile up...she takes the job with the mindset that it's only temporary. At Diamond Jim's, Jessica develops a friendship with Patricia, a sexy masseuse with a degree in art. Jessica finds a creative thread that runs between them. A couple of weeks later, a raid spearheaded by Detective Tom Brogan takes place. Jessica, Patricia and several other massage therapists are arrested. Brogan believes Jessica is innocent and was nothing more than a receptionist...but the Mayor, the Police Chief and the D.A. want someone to take the fall. Volpe can't be found, identified or tied to anything, so Jessica is charged and found guilty with running the operation. The media dubs her "The S&M Madam." After 18 months in prison there is no life waiting on the outside for Jessica. By the time she's released, she's divorced and her family and friends have deserted her. Also, because of the notoriety of The S&M Madam, Jessica can't find a job a sustainable job. Working as a waitress in a dingy diner, she sees a newspaper ad for "Erotica"...an art exhibit by Patricia. At the art gallery, Jessica meets Mario, a handsome, wealthy Italian businessman. Patricia and Jessica rekindle their friendship as Mario and Jessica begin a new one. Suzanne, on the other hand, has developed an insatiable cocaine appetite and is back in the picture. Mario makes Jessica feel like life is again worth living. It is then that Jessica plots to get her revenge on those who ruined her life. And she does.
