Natalija was raped ten years ago and did not tell anyone who did it. When she goes on a vacation to the Adriatic Sea, the Island of Pag, her rapist, Denis, shows up, as the boyfriend of her future sister-in-law. He was not punished for his act because Natalija was afraid of moral judgment. Denis changes his behavior toward Natalija, but his intentions are not pure.

At times I did struggle to fully believe in their motivations, especially when their behaviours seemed to run directly opposite to previous experience. However, this didn't stop me from keenly turning pages, eager to discover whether Natalija would have the strength of mind to avenge herself on her former rapist and, indeed, whether Denis's behaviour all those years ago had been an aberration or the start of a violent pattern.
