Mag Cross rigidly observes two taboos: Don’t go back to modeling in any form; and don’t get involved with a man who promises love and immortality, then nearly kills you. Enter a mediocre salesman, mental gamesman and brilliant artist. Serge Monarch flaunts all taboos in the search for his artistic and personal vision of perfect beauty. Unfortunately for Mag, he decides she’s it. He ardently pursues her, as an objet d’art and an object of desire. With him he brings all the temptations and follies of her past: modeling, sex, mental games, mystery, illusions, even love. Slowly Mag drives herself to desperation and her former self-destruction. Serge, caught between his love for Mag and his insatiable desire for perfection, relentlessly tries to remake her into his ideal. Mag must survive, must have his love. If she wins, she might sacrifice everything, but if she loses, she and Serge will live in a hell of their own making.
