But when her affections are transferred to a younger man, sexual jealousy and lust drive her slowly insane. As she gradually takes ever more drastic (and brutal) measures to secure the object of her affections, she is aided by the mysterious Zofloya - a Moor with apparently supernatural abilities, who is not all he seems...
