Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, and she ends up with a string of hapless victims. When she at last meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved drives her to the brink of insanity and murder.

In a style evocative of Technicolor films and 1960s Italian giallo, Anna Biller crafts a horror-comedy that also serves as a feminist ode.
