Fredek Manard is young, rich, self-assured, and impulsive. After a single date, Lana is consumed by his love and drawn into his erotic sexual desires. Fredek informs her that she is moving in with him, and three weeks later, he asks her to marry him. Their life together is a fantasy, nights and days spent making love in his "dungeon" or outside in his private garden, surrounded by miles of forest. It's an illusion that ends as Fredek grows weaker. Rolf Manard is Fredek's twin brother who lives in California. As Fredek grows more ill, Rolf spends ever more time with his brother and Lana. Rolf is bolder, charismatic, and shares his brother's love of creative, torturous sexual delights. With Fredek's last breath, he gives Rolf his greatest gift, his greatest love, Lana. Lana is caught between love and grief as she and Rolf deal with the barrage of stressful events in the aftermath of Fredek's death.
