Alexander Herzog, a young writer, goes to Vienna to escape his debts and a failed love affair. There he is pursued by book loving Ganna. Dazzled and unnerved by her devotion to him, and attracted to the large dowry offered by her wealthy parents, he thinks he can mould Ganna into what he wants. But no-one can control her troubling passions.
