Story:   Set in the affluent community of Buckhead, Atlanta, the story follows Dr. Joyce Richardson, a talented, yet introverted surgeon at Sinai Hospital, who is struggling with the fact that she is still single despite all her professional successes. Joyce’s strict Christian upbringing is a constant source of internal conflict for her, and limits the men she dates. However, upon a chance encounter with handsome Investor Darrin Wethington, Joyce immediately begins a whirlwind romance with the wealthy businessman and entrepreneur.  It isn’t long before Joyce begins to explore her own sexual fantasies, and convinces Darrin to join her in S&M sex.  This leads them into further and further exploration into this world, which is traditionally considered taboo in the conservative and upscale black community of Buckhead.  Source:  Shadow & Act.
