Based on the blogs of high-class London call girl Belle de Jour, this dramatic series follows the title character's secret life in the sex trade. A normal girl by day and a high-class prostitute by night, Belle loves the excitement, money, and independence offered by her double life, but finds that despite the perks offered by her saucy night-time adventures, her alter-ego also causes complications in her personal life. |
