Ludmilla and Oxana, two impoverished Ukrainian girls, attempt to buy their way across the borders and into the West. But when they reach Germany it turns out that their new lives are going to be very different from what they had imagined. They find that they have been sold into slavery at the exclusive and sinister Folterschloss. Very quickly the girls realise that the corridors of power that connect the overseers and slaves are every bit as labyrinthine as the stone passages of the castle that connect the terrible dungeons. Against a background of almost ceaseless visits to those dungeons and the terrors they contain, the girls must come to terms with their new live and their new masters and mistresses.
