Cherry Valentine is the hard-partying gossip columnist for a national tabloid newspaper but the party really begins when she gatecrashes an exotic launch party by pretending to be a fashion editor. Always the last to leave, she takes someone else's lift home, only to find herself in an empty house with a sexy secret in the cellar. Who is the mystery man in the mask who understands Cherry's most intimate needs? Is he her Prince Charming or something more sinister? As Cherry attempts to unmask her lover, her nights are full of strange erotic dreams while her days are filled with her able-bodied - but ambitious - work experience boy.
