The age, appearance and social status of lovers have long been of no importance to Val. People became objects for her, a way to escape at least for a little while - to escape from loneliness and herself. Lost in a series of chance meetings and fleeting romances, Val is obsessed with the idea of an almost mythical City - either heaven or hell, in which the most unimaginable pleasures are possible. With her extremely unusual companion, she goes in search of this mysterious place, while Val’s old acquaintance, serial killer Arthur Breen, has targeted her as a new victim and is already on the trail. Their path is lined with bodies trembling in ecstasy from pleasure, pain and hope for a brief moment of oblivion.
