Summaries

A police officer meets a girl who is near to falling into the net of shady individuals. To prevent this, he invites her into the police station and tells her a story.

Cunning and exploitative, Manfredi, the ruthless human trafficker, has always been good at lying. When one of his many victims, Aida, escapes from his clutches by the skin of her teeth with the help of Carlo, her secret admirer, Manfredi concocts the perfect plan for retribution to get him out of the way. As a result, pretty soon, the helpless, impoverished, and above all, utterly unprotected Aida will fall prey, once again, to Manfredi's malicious schemes, doomed to be forever his property. Will Aida ever escape from slavery?—Nick Riganas
