    One evening, two endlessly horny lesbian lovers are sat at home, enjoying a romantic evening by the fireside with some relaxing embroidery. One of them accidentally stabs her finger with the needle, but rather than recoiling in pain she finds that the sudden jab actually turns her on. Seeing how aroused she has become, her lover agrees to participate in her newfound fetish. In fact, she takes so well to her dominant role that she organises a particularly extreme evening of darkly erotic pain involving a bed of sharp spikes and a whole host of other sadistic sexual implements.
