When a Norwegian model disappears in Paris, Johnathen Flynn, a burned-out American photographer, disillusioned by the business that once attracted him, and with not much to lose, makes it his quest to find her. Slowly, Flynn stumbles forward, following a thinly disguised trail that is testament to both the invincibility and arrogance of those who abducted her. He discovers a world in which the laws of civilization are disqualified and the human body is traded as a commodity - and a group of men who are untouchable. Flynn also finds the remnants of a once healthy girl, and with it the realization that he himself has become a target.
