THE BALINESE TWINS

Beautiful and exotic, they exchange an island paradise for the shabby squalor of London, and innocence for corruption.

THE SICILIAN

Ricky Delgado strikes a devil's bargain with a blood goddess: Build my temple and bring me the souls of damaged people, and you will see what rewards I give.

THE COURTESAN

Elizabeth makes her living from men's desire. With a flick of the switch in her head, she feels nothing: no pain, no hate, no sorrow, no joy.

THE ARTIST

Anis takes to painting as an outlet for his rage. His artist's eye knows his subjects before they know themselves, and he paints them all, a gallery of broken people.

Can they escape the deadly web of decadence and sin?
