Hades and Persephone have opened a secret club in the bowels of the former Hotel Timp, Cologne´s infamous transvestite venue. Each night, a limited number of guests are permitted to enter the dank brothel and be “entertained” by several well-known hosts, 7 beautiful women imprisoned by Hades, and the couple themselves.

Burrowed into a makeshift room under the stairs lives Silvana, an Eastern European prostitute, and 5 other trafficked and brutalized women. Trapped by the punishing threats of their pimp, the women sit among pastel lace and stale cigarettes, luring visitors into the unforgiving world of sex for sale, with all its harrowing details.
