Brigitte Markham

After an unsuccessful attempt at seduction by her friend Laura, Mary escapes to the French chateau where her flatmate, Philippe, is spending a holiday. The count at the chateau has some curious ways of entertaining his guests, however, and the naïve Mary and Philippe are soon initiated into new and perverse ways of loving. <br/>
<br/>
Laura, worried about Mary, follows her to France and joins in the bizarre games at the chateau. But what they don't realise is that the count harbours a terrible secret, which puts all their lives in danger.
