Storyline

Catherine and David, she a doctor, he a professor, are at first glance the perfect couple. Happily married with a talented teenage son, they appear to have the perfect life. But when David misses a flight and his surprise birthday party, Catherine's long simmering suspicions rise to the surface. Suspecting infidelity, she decides to hire an escort to seduce her husband and test his loyalty. Catherine finds herself 'directing' Chloe's encounters with David, and Chloe's end of the bargain is to report back, the descriptions becoming increasingly graphic as the meetings multiply.

User Reviews

OMG Julianne Moore & Amanda Seyfeild are stunning in this

This is a weird erotic drama about a wife who thinks her husband was cheating so she hires a woman to do a few things or so you'd think. Not a bad movie; kinda cheesy a little creepy, great performances and fairly entertaining. Also kinda cool that this is my 190th review on here.
