Theo, a rapist, is released after nine years in a psychiatric hospital's prison ward. His fear of women and the unfulfilled desire this generates turns normal life into a kind of martyrdom.
At the age of 27, Nettie finally manages to cut herself free from her father and a lifetime of mental abuse at his hands.
Theo and Nettie meet. The moment they start loving each other marks the beginning of their journey to the limits of free will.
