A disillusioned Midwestern housewife desperately needs respite from her aggressive husband and stifled existence. She indulges in a secret weekend at a spa in the California hills, where she engages the services of a handsome young male escort.

"William" sells his body to many women in unhappy marriages, but his new client encourages him to share more than just his sensual expertise. As she invites him to know intimacy in what should have been just another business transaction, William starts to remember what it was like to be a man who craved more from life than just limited subsistence.

"Hot Water" is a rare treat for body, mind, and soul -- a kind of literary vision quest, rich in spiritual imagery, romantic eroticism, and philosophical themes and dialogue.
