Taking a wrong turn can be very humiliating and painful. As Daisy raced home to fetch her passport, she took a shortcut through Sunningdale county. It was worth the risk to save her summer trip until she took a wrong turn and headed deeper into the County. When the police pulled her over without ID, Daisy finds herself in a County notorious for treating women like the old days and worse. Rules imposed after a women's uprising nearly a decade ago. Offenders were subject to nudity, spankings and humiliation if they broke the strict rules. Can Daisy endure the harsh regime and escape back to a sane world? Or have three particularly mean women got her trapped forever?
