Kurt Steiner brings us the tale of an English writer, married to a beautiful woman from Rawalpindi, who finds that a debilitating illness changes everything. Especially when the beautiful wife employs a young and not as beautiful young woman from her own land to both nurse him and take care of their home. An opportunity, with the blessing of the wife intending to divorce him, the young woman takes advantage of to use his illness - and the latent masochism of which he is in denial - to bind the older man to her in ways from which he will be unable to extricate himself. Ever!
