In My Secret Life follows the adventures of Amelia, a freelance art and fashion model who also does adult content. She becomes bored of working for amateur photographers, and so she begins following them in her off time and taking pictures of them. She is searching for meaning in her life and her work, and is also trying to figure out what she wants in a romantic partner, after being single and focused on her modeling for many years.

When one of her favorite photographers dies, his wife Mia discovers that he had been shooting nude models without her knowledge and she sets out on her own journey to discover who he really was. Her paths cross with the model because of this, and then their stories continue to intertwine.
