Line 7 ⟶ 9:

Lee Holloway (Gyllenhaal) has recently been released from a mental institution after her penchant for [[self-mutilation]] resulted in a near-fatal injury. Determined to adjust to society, she learns to type and is hired as [[secretary]] to attorney E. Edward Grey (Spader). Grey's disdainful attitude toward his employee turns out to be a boon to both of them, as what initially was a rather strained professional relationship becomes both closer and more personal as it progressively takes on greater [[BDSM]] elements.
