When a wealthy sponsor offers to fund a clandestine assignment in Italy, Jessica seizes the opportunity, because as a journalist and also a woman with the spanking kink, what could be better than visiting a beautiful old convent located in a remote valley in the mountains? Especially when the Sisters who inhabit that convent practice flagellation! Jessica first visits her old Headmistress at St Catherine's Academy Boarding School for Girls, where she spins her a story about needing a break from life's temptations, and asks her for a letter of introduction to be presented to whichever Prioress offers her retreat.

So Jessica travels to 'Paradise Valley' in Italy and is allowed to stay in the convent for two weeks - time enough for her to gather information for her exclusive story. The rumours are true - and not only does Jessica get to watch the nuns being whipped, she also does penance herself, feeling the intoxicating bite of birch rod, strap, and paddle on her bare bottom. But as the days pass, Jessica feels increasingly guilty at her duplicity... she has much to atone for.

When the time comes for Jessica to depart, she takes away more than memories from the convent. One of the novices, the attractive Sister Matilda, runs away to spend a few days of sensual pleasure with her, culminating in a shared fantasy that makes its mark on Jessica's bottom!
