She is dancing sensuously, moving to a rhythm David can not hear. David watches her and is instantly mesmerized. Days later, after torturing him with her erotic moves, she comes to him, and they make passionate love. In the morning, however, she has disappeared. This mysterious woman has touched something deep within David's soul, and he vows to find her again. But what he finds shocks him.
