The thought of a man in his sixties deflowering a 15-year-old Francine made me sick [...] I looked at her. She was sitting up, and her breasts jutted forward with impudent beauty. I pictured her at age 15, just as beautiful, but younger, more innocent, less worldly. And a wrinkled, pot-bellied old man topping her fair body with his own, clutching her swelling breasts in his gnarled claws --
“How? How did it happen, Francine?”
“My parents were dead. I needed a guardian.”
“And Veeland --”
“He heard about me. He invited me to come live with him. Not quite as an adopted daughter. To be a comfort for his old age. I understood. I got the message. I was very aware of things, even then.”
“And you’ve bee here ever since?”
She nodded.
“Sleeping with him?”
“When he wants me to.”
“And the rest of the time?”
She shrugged. “I’m free to do as I please.”

Jack Thorne is a stock trader who has made a million dollars by age 28. One night, he goes to a club to celebrate a big trade. He meets a beautiful woman named Francine, who invites him to a huge Manhattan mansion that she claims is her home. It turns out that she is a “kept” woman of a Wall Street legend and billionaire Martin Veeland. Although she is only 22, she says she has been “kept” by Veeland for seven years.
Veeland sees his younger self in Thorne, and wants to relive his past by watching Thorne have sex with Francine. Thorne resists the request, but he cannot resist Francine, and Francine tells him that Veeland, who sees him as a son, has included him in his will.
Thorne learns that Francine, along with Veeland's other employees / sex pawns, is plotting to excite Veeland so much that he has a heart attack. She knows that Veeland is about to acquire a new 15-year-old girl, so she must act fast. Thorne joins the plot, but it doesn't work out as planned...
