Elizabeth is puzzled over the mysterious disappearance of her Aunt Ruth, but as she goes through Ruth's possessions, she discovers her aunt had attended spanking parties. A little shocked, yet curiously excited, she plucks up courage to attend herself.

After carefully scrutinising her aunt's notes, she manages to follow her through time, where she meets handsome widower, Amos Owens. A whole new life opens up to her, but some things aren't quite how she imagined them to be...
