Olga, a Russian aristocratic immigrant and member of the French Resistance, is arrested by Nazi police for hiding Jewish children during a surprise raid. In jail she meets Jules, a French Nazi-collaborator who is assigned to investigate her case. Jules grows fond of Olga and offers to go light on her punishment in exchange for sexual favours. Although Olga agrees, her hope for freedom quickly fades when events take an unexpected turn. Shipped to a concentration camp, Olga embarks on a twisted and destructive relationship with high-ranking German SS officer Helmut.
