Shelby Flynn is the very successful conductor of the Oakwood Philharmonic Orchestra, with degrees from Boston University and UCLA. She recently turned forty, but somewhere in the back of her mind, she feels something is missing in her life. She hasn't had a serious relationship in several years, and there doesn't seem to be the right woman for her in Oakwood, California. She knows -- she's been looking for the six long years she's lived there.
Maybe, when her contract expires this spring, Shelby should move home to Boston and look for a new position ... and better relationship opportunities.
Then her best friend Earl suggests she go see a woman he knows, a professional dominatrix who is a world authority on sexual problems. Perhaps Mistress can take away some of Shelby's angst and problems.
