Edmond Burke is a city businessman who visits a Tarot fortune teller on the way home. She claims Edmond "is not where [he] belongs." He decides to make changes in his life,... beginning by leaving his wife. At a bar, Edmond tells a fellow patron he hasn't had sex in a while and that marriage took away his masculinity. The man gives him the address to a strip club, where Edmond is kicked out by a bouncer for not paying for a stripper's drink. Now even more sexually frustrated, Edmond goes to a peep show; having never been to such a place before, he doesn't realize that he isn't allowed to have actual sex with the performer. Next he goes to a white-collar bordello, but can't afford a hooker.
