Forbidden
Omtale
Forbidden Lauren Baker wants it all. Her friends and a succession of frustrated lovers believe she already has it all, but none of them are aware of a deeply-held desire, a complex dream of intimacy taken to extreme levels of passion, dreams that even she doesn't quite understand. In "Forbidden," Lauren is drawn into an unexpected world of wealth and pleasure in pursuit of that dream, and discovers that bliss truly does reside in the journey, because the destination is never quite what we think it will be, and it is always temporary. Lauren is a beautiful Los Angeles 40-year old portfolio manager with a massively successful career and connections in both financial and celebrity circles. Her boyfriend is a famous athlete terrified because he is nearing the end of his career. She lives in an elite Marina Del Rey tower overlooking the Pacific. She's healthy and fit and ridiculously busy, with great friends, including two women she has known since college who share her tastes in lifestyle and men, and understand her contradictions and hesitance to pursue her dream, or even to believe in it. But when they drift apart toward relationships at the same time her boyfriend is caught in the bed of another woman, Lauren realizes her ultimate bliss won't come to her, she needs to go out and find it. But first, she needs to understand it. One of those women hooks her up with a very specialized growth program available only through referral and to the discreet and wealthy. She's gone through it herself, and come out the other end with a soul mate and an expanded world that exceeds her wildest, highest expectation. Part self-awareness workshop and part high-end match-making service, this program uses technology to defy the odds of finding the "perfect lover" on your own, with a track record and a price tag that makes it accessible to only a discreet and enlightened few. After an astoundingly deep introductory analysis process, she is immersed in a series of orchestrated experiences, all exploring and pushing the boundaries of intimacy and love, without barriers or social constriction. Data is collected and analyzed using technology that creates a profile of the perfect lover and the ideal situation, all based on her biological responses, and after crunching those numbers and filtering them through a sophisticated human vetting process, the program finds her perfect mate and facilitates an introduction and an initial path of exploration. Lauren is hesitant, until she dips a toe through the initial assessment and discovery process. She finds herself not only intrigued, but also hopeful, perhaps for the first time since her decade-old divorce hardened her cynicism and erected walls around her heart. But her recently dismissed boyfriend has other plans for her. Her non-negotiable rejection of his causes something to snap in his psyche, and the thought of her spending time with her mysterious new friend makes him crazy, willing to destroy himself if that's what it takes to make her understand the lengths he will go to possess her. "Forbidden" is the search for love taken to the most unspeakable extremes, coming full circle to the eternal quest for bliss. But bliss comes with a price, and for Lauren Baker, that price just might kill her.
