Lisa's having a hard time getting turned on, and when your job is to spearhead the Ministry of Thought's effort to find more appropriate sexual fantasies for women, that's a problem. Now that women have taken over the world, you see, the old lovesick, masochistic fantasies don't cut it; everything from The Story of O to romance novels leaves post-revolutionary women like Lisa cold. Things with Brett, her SR (for Significant Relationship -- "boyfriend" is so pre-revolution), aren't exactly heating up either. And Justin, her new assistant...well, he's cute, but he's yet to complete his reeducation. In fact, his "nurturing competency" level is so low he's been assigned an ugly dog named Mac as part of his training. Bonded in their quest to figure out how best to arouse women, Lisa and Justin soon find themselves plucked from the ranks of the Ministry for an altogether different mission, one that will land them in Zone Six -- home to socially irredeemable men -- right smack in the middle of a counterrevolutionary uprising.
