The Deal

Tired of her horrible luck in the BDSM community, Melissa allows herself to be wooed by Alan, a man who promises her the world in a whirlwind romance that leads to marriage. The caveat? He'll help her find what real love is and heal her 'illness.' She accepts, trusting she's self-destructive without him. Fast forward to two years later and, their marriage failing, they find themselves facing an elaborate weekend hosting Lionel, a possible buyer for Alan's business. Alan claims if they manage to sell to Lionel, they can go back to the way things were before their marriage began to unravel. Can Melissa believe him? Also, does she even want to save the marriage? And what is going on with Lionel? Why does his energy seem so familiar? The Deal explores the many ways we make deals with ourselves and others in the pursuit of a life worth living.
