Welcome to the world of The Channel, a secretive, exclusive interactive cable network, run by and for women, which issues special invitations to certain ones, allowing them to explore their most secret, intimate fantasies...no matter what their desires might be.

Who wouldn't dream of extraordinary, kinky sex? Well, maybe not Annie Miller, a widowed, stay-at-home mother of five kids. Since the death of her husband, Annie has just barely been financially making it work for her family. But all that changes when her wealthy sister Lizzie enters Annie into a contest run by The Channel and Annie wins the Grand Prize: a week's stay at the Spa, a new exclusive luxury resort in Egret Pointe. But what about her five kids? Lizzie has that all planned, too. They'll be away for part of the summer, allowing Annie to experience her fantasies and really live for the first time in what seems like forever. At the Spa, Annie turns on the flat-screen TV to begin living out her dreams and fantasies. Soon she is living a very erotic and sexy version of Beauty and the Beast, and not the children's version of the story. Annie finds out that some fantasies-and dreams-can come true.
