Nadja is a tough uncompromising young woman. She has a devouring appetite for true moments in life. During the day, as a photography student, she captures life in its myriad shades.

However, sex with Darius opens her eyes to a deeper, more meaningful existence for which she is willing to give up everything else. A desperate fight between love and passion begins, which threatens to overwhelm Darius.
