Arriving at a remote German castle after a nightmare journey through a storm, Mila's only intention was to complete her objective: to see the castle owner's unique collection of ancient instruments of torment and, hopefully negotiate the purchase of one of them.

Surely it would be madness to let Herr Beck and his two strange employees lock her into the restraints and let her experience for herself just how it felt to be subjected to a little of the torment so many had suffered centuries ago?
