Not one to turn down a challenge, she accepts the indecent proposal of her martial arts instructor to become his submissive in a dynamic that tests her resilience. Spreading like wildfire, their affair lights up another blaze, this time between Lana and Honda's wife, the sophisticated socialite Yuki. Fearless, Lana embraces what her two masters offer her. Yet, unbeknown to her, their powerful desire rouses ancient Japanese demons who have waited for decades to claim their prizes.
