Summary

This week, in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, when a successful woman from the suburbs is found, brutally murdered in her car, in a Detroit alley, police originally think it could've been a robbery gone wrong. Until they discover her husband's secret life, as a BDSM dungeon master, running kinky sex parties out of the basement of his business. He also has 2 girlfirends, and an entire double life, complete with plans for a live-in threesome relationship. But does that mean he's a murderer??

 

Along the way, we find out that we can't tell if some bands aren't famous, or if we're just too old to know who they are, that you really need to be careful who you bring to be your murder helper, and that wanting to keep women as sex slaves doesn't automatically make you a murderer, but it doesn't help!!
