Max Zajack's life is in a rut, filled with cheap rooms, dead end jobs and suicidal fantasies. Then he meets the alluring and mysterious Olivia Aphrodite. Max and Olivia dive headfirst into a powerful relationship fueled by insatiable desire for each other, both physically and mentally.
But Olivia has a dark side-one that is exacerbated by the need to make ends meet. Olivia's erratic behavior and secretive nature cause Max to become more and more obsessive and soon their relationship becomes toxic and they plunge into a downward spiral of mutual destruction.
