  • "Jerry Delfont receives a mysterious letter asking for his help regarding a dead boy. Before long, he finds himself lured into the company of the letter's author Merrill Unger, and is intrigued enough to pursue both the mystery and the woman. She introduces Delfont to a strange underworld where tantric sex and religious fervor lead to obsession, philanthropy and exploitation walk hand in hand, and, unless he can act in time, violence against the most vulnerable in society goes unnoticed and unpunished."
