Driven by the promise of a new life, Jessica (19) and her best friend Laila left for Syria to join DAECH. But when they arrive, they find themselves locked up in a women’s house run by the authoritarian and charismatic Madame. When Jessica rebels, a game of domination and submission begins between her and the director. Between fascination and fear, Jessica will have to give up her humanity to survive within this system.
