Juliane finds ways to escape her pursuers in Cologne and w flees to her husband in California. For that she had to abort her university studies. Her prior sexual encounters had taken such a big toll on Juliane that her psyche was deeply hurt. But regardless, she will t confide into anyone. In her new homeland of California it is her husband who, for his professional aspirations and over ambitiousness, drives her into a new affair. Unrelated violence and abuse that she faces become part of her daily fears and anxieties. Again, Juliane needs to call her own shots while facing dangers that pale in comparison to the risks she was exposed to back in Cologne. She becomes deeply involved in crime and murder. This is a vel about the temptations of sensuality, but it also narrates the intimate feelings, the yearning and quest for love of a young woman. It is tale about a man and a woman who try to find their role in life - sharing some common deminators: sensuality paired with the desire to succeed. But they are only to learn, in the course of their marriage, that this volatility of excitement was and will t be sufficient. Daniel is a conventional fellow who focuses on his career in the world of techlogy. Juliane, on the other hand, sees her marriage slipping away - longer can she cope with her husband's demands for sexual promiscuity to further his chances in his career; r is she willing to further succumb to those ideas. For many people, Juliane is considered a vixen - young, vibrant and blessed with her good looks. Only a few kw that when men and women alike feel being physically attracted to her, it is recognition, self-affirmation and testimonial for her as a woman. Sex fulfills her needs and becomes her language of communication - perhaps a substitute for 'rmal' communication that she has t mastered yet. Her desire for comfort and closeness remains often unanswered, thus she must pay a high price for the path she has chosen. Despite several relationships before her marriage, the young student Juliane is still a vice in matters of love. One day she stumbles into an affair with her husband's best friend and this is the prelude to a rather erotic, but also crazy, story that will run her into great perils and wicked complications. Her husband abandons her temporarily for a trip overseas. In her longing for comfort and partnership, she enters into yet ather affair with an older gentleman. Little did she kw that she has fallen victim to the man's egotistical intentions. He uses her for his purposes and personal advantages. Sooner than later, Juliane ends up in California. This is where her life turns out to be as risky as back home, as she becomes entangled in a real case of murder. Months later Juliane returns to her homeland - by herself - where she considered herself to be safe in the company of a former lover. But that turns out to be the wrong conclusion. Lo and behold, she needs to fight for her life and her freedom again.
