Renee Poole has married her high school sweetheart Brent and moved to a suburb of Winston-Salem, North Carolina where they are a young family settling into their own home. Brent Poole shows much promise in his career as a highly trained mechanic and provides a comfortable life for his wife and young daughter. Renee, however, tires quickly of the routine of being a stay home mom and house wife. She craves adventure and attention, so when a friend offers her a chance to dance at the local gentleman's club she jumps on the opportunity. Renee's new place of employment offers her more than just money — she acquires a number of lovers who she brings home while Brent is hard at work supporting the family. One of these lovers becomes a little something more. This relationship ends in tragedy when Brent finds out and asks Renee to stop her relations with this other man.
