Among her patients are Jamie (Patience Hodgson) and James (Daniel London), a gay couple in a long-term monogamous relationship. James desires to open up their relationship, which leads them to meet Ceth (Paul Dawson), who might join their family. However, Caleb (Jay Brannan), a voyeuristic neighbor with his own sexual issues, becomes involved as well. Sophia seeks help from Severin (Ally Sheedy), a dominatrix with secrets of her own.
