David and Trisha Holloway are both millionaires and each have successful businesses Holloway Fine Furniture and McClouds Fashions respectively. Their family consists of David, Trisha (his legal wife) and three other women who also consider themselves as his wives. Apart from running their various businesses the Family (the capital is applied by the members when referring to themselves) play a great part in the life of the nearby village and their domestic arrangements are continuing and affectionate source of gossip and speculation amongst the older villagers ... Townies are excluded. They all live at Sheraton or the New House next door and they frequently amuse themselves with BDSM games in the extensive and secret cellar. In September two doctor friends who run a sex clinic for couples with marital problems ask them if they would agree to help with a few of their patients whose problems are neither medical nor psychiatric but ignorance or shyness of the opposite sex. After some consideration the Family undertakes to help and a few weeks later Joe and Edna are introduced by the doctors. They have been married for a year but have never seen each other even partially naked and on the few occasions that Joe has had sex with his wife it was a total waste of time as far as she was concerned and something of a relief for him that it was over and done with. Shortly after their fourth session at Sheraton and showing a little improvement in their relationship David awakes from a drugged sleep (which he cannot explain) to find himself imprisoned quite comfortably in an isolated house. His captors tell him that Joe has stolen a quarter of a million pounds worth of cocaine from the man who had David brought here. Edna is about to be questioned under torture to find the whereabouts of Joe and David has been brought also in case she does not reveal anything, the drug dealer speculates that he may have heard something that gives a clue to the drugs location. Edna is stripped and bound and suspended horizontally and very explicitly exposed for handheld hair dryers.
