In a narrative steeped in the stark contrasts of material opulence and spiritual decay, Bruce Wilton, a magnate of considerable fortune, dotes on his wife, Vera, within the gilded cage of their lavish existence.

With an acute sensitivity to the subtle shifts in human disposition, the priest embarks on a quiet, methodical quest to unmask the source of this corrosive influence.
