Jennifer (Jewell Marceau) goes from sub to delusions of domination in GwenMedia's excellent addition to the Ivy Manor series.

Marceau suffers, her arms held upright by her thumbs, and drool dripping deliciously from her mouth while she whimpers, anticipating the whippings to come exquisitely under the experienced and sadistic hand of Mistress Isabella Sinclair. Her cries of pleasure and pain are made all the sweeter by the muffling effects of a ball gag.

When Marceau carries out her responsibility to watch over a noisy sub and forces her head into water, Sinclair is pleased, and promotes her to assistant.

There's attention to small details most other fetish offerings overlook, such as the day-to-day tasks of catering to the mistresses' meal and subs providing Sinclair their bodies for a candle-lit environment to read by.

Sinclair shines as a mistress who never needs to raise her voice, as her mask of icy sadistic efficiency is occasionally broken by an evil smile of anticipation that speaks volumes; she's never at a loss as to how to use her torture toys to discipline the unruly.

The mistress' understudy, Marceau, is a sexy switch -- excellent as a sub, her voice often falters and is nervous when addressing Sinclair. However, shows her true self in a fantasy scene where she plays a self-assured mistress to one of the manor's subs and delights in her newfound power.

Superb use of lighting, camera angles, moody music (pre-nom Best Music), and kink couture with matching sets (pre-nom Best Art Direction - Video) also raise the bar on what is to be considered high-class kink and put the bow atop the rubber-wrapped gift.
