In this follow-up to the wildly popular kinky romance drama Fifty Shades of Grey, we find perpetually blushing publishing-house editorial assistant Anastasia Steele making it through life without the help or attention of controlling Seattle-based mega-billionaire Christian Grey, mostly due to the fact that he couldn't open himself up to her much beyond his taste for sado-masochistic sexual acts. While Grey tries to move on, he can't 'quit' Ana, forging is way back into her life romantically (on condition that their relationship stay 'vanilla'), as well as in an attempt to take over ownership of the company that employs her.
