At 34, Eleanor is closed off from the few people in her life. Her job as a mail carrier is a solitary one, and any free time is spent caring for her Alzheimer’s afflicted father. She is sexually unsatisfied, her only intimacy coming from her smitten co-worker Jerry, for whom she has no deep feelings at all.
But when Eleanor dislocates her shoulder, she is shocked to find the first meaningful, stimulating touch coming from her doctor, Graham. The instant he pops her shoulder back into socket, Eleanor is filled with a powerful surge of pleasure and pain that she hasn’t felt for years. She leaves his office with an instant infatuation, and a desperate need to feel that touch again.
Eleanor starts finding ways to get closer to Graham and begins intentionally hurting herself to feed her addiction. But as her obsession grows, her methods get more and more extreme. As she unravels and gives over fully to her desires, she pushes herself and the people around her past a point of no return.
