Tesla, born and raised in the U.S., meets Nane online, who was born and raised in Germany. The two strike up a cyber friendship, and a chance meeting allows them to get to know one another when Tesla visits Nane in Munich.

With no real ties to hold her in the U.S., Tesla agrees to accept Nane’s generous offer to share her apartment with her, as the two begin a torrid love affair destined to spiral out of control.

Tesla wants to be loved, but Nane has a different agenda in mind. She wants a slave more than she wants a lover. But the more dominant and controlling Nane becomes, the more Tesla is determined to squirm free of Nane’s possessive grip. And while it may be easy to wish for, it’s another thing to actually do—since Tesla not only has nowhere to run to in Germany but no way to get back to her homeland either.

That is, unless she wants to risk going to jail, since there’s a warrant out for her arrest—and the U.S. has since begun conducting routine warrant checks upon arrival at its airports.
