Through immense ingenuity, the protagonist discovers a way to enter the lives of his unsuspecting victims, manipulating them at will and using them to satisfy his own needs. The greater the danger he faces, the bolder his escapades become, and the more insatiable his sexual desires grow. Tarden is unable to live without physical tension.
