Introduction

Recovering from a self-inflicted wound, multi-millionaire entrepreneur Phillipe feels insecure about the sexual connection with his lovely young submissive, Bella Lisa and is unable to engage in intimacy with her without physical pain.

After their intense and sensual week together, Phillipe and Bella Lisa both realize the nature of their relationship is changing.

Afraid of the growing bond between them and confused about entering into a deeper emotional commitment to Phillipe due to their age difference, Bella Lisa meets Raoul, a young social worker, at her new job.

Sexually drawn to one another, they act upon their mutual attraction and Raoul falls deeply in love with her. Bella Lisa admits to her affair and Phillipe accepts it at first, willing to share Bella Lisa with the younger man rather than lose her completely.

Bella Lisa becomes torn between the conventional sexual relationship and married life offered by Raoul and the forbidden pleasures in the West Wing only Phillipe can provide.

After a terrible and traumatic accident burns his skin beyond repair, Phillipe must cover his face with a mask. Phillipe stops taking his anti-psychotic medication, closes himself away in his condo and considers suicide.

Phillipe discovers that Joseph, the sadistic foster father who inflicted the physical and psychological scars on him 32 years ago, is still alive. Phillipe hears the Voice of the Beast once more, summoning him to action.

With the help of Carlotta, a close friend and adult movie star, Phillipe retreats into the subterranean bowels of his theater, the Adam and Eve Club, and plots his revenge against the man he holds personally responsible for the tragedy that shattered his life.
