When Rilke, a dissolute auctioneer, comes upon a hidden collection of violent and highly disturbing photographs, he feels compelled to discover more about the deceased owner who coveted them.
Auctioneer and antiques expert Rilke's discovery of a cache of violent erotica leads him on a compulsive search for the creators, and victims, of the pornography.
