Deep in the darkest parts of the web, pleasure is a commodity, and as three young women are about to learn, innocent, untouched bodies command a high price. ‘Why’ doesn’t usually matter to the men behind the screens, the ones placing their bets to be the first to claim those sweet bodies in the most intimate, humiliating ways possible.

The ruthless mafia king is no stranger to violence, but when he lays his eyes on my bruised and battered face, he's furious.
