Lena has always been used to surviving—in a small Bryalsk, you can’t do otherwise. After a robbery she was dragged into by her beloved, she finds herself on the edge. Her last hope is a trip to Moscow to Leonid, the wealthy brother of her mother’s late roommate. But a new life comes with a price far too high. Leonid turns her into his toy, breaking her will and subordinating her desires. It would seem everything is lost—but suddenly Lena becomes a star. Her voice can be heard everywhere, millions admire her—yet even fame doesn’t bring freedom. She has everything except the right to herself. Can she regain her dignity, learn to love, and break out of captivity? Or will the power she herself learned to use prove sweeter than freedom?
