Two hundred years ago, a handsome young nobleman falls under the spell of a malevolent but irresistible sorceress. In the present day, stranded by a thunderstorm at a remote Gothic priory, Belinda and her boyfriend are drawn into an enclosed world of luxurious decadence and sexual alchemy. Their host is the courteous but melancholic André von Kastel, a beautiful aristocrat who mourns his lost love. He has plans for Belinda—plans that will take her into the realms of obsessive love and erotic who-knows-what.
