A beautiful but cruel queen menaces the men who stumble into her isolated world, where she lives surrounded by a mixture of barbarianism and superscience.

Caught in this web, Saint-Avit and Morhange attempt to escape until love, passion, and jealousy threaten their friendship and their very lives.
