Cancer patient and successful writer Lilith Winterbottom should be dead by now. But the cynical misanthrope seems to scare even death away, in order to finish her last book and find a hero's death worthy of her main character Spider.

Lea, a therapist specializing in the treatment of victims of sexual abuse, is unable to follow her own methods after she herself suffers an assault and plunges into the abyss of her own psyche. It is a journey through the inner realm of a violated woman, where reality and fiction, truth and dream intertwine.
