horrendous transformation of becoming a child prostitute, suffering
abuse from clients and Markovic himself. Yuri Seminkov, an
undercover police officer, infiltrates the organization, acting as
an accountant. Seminkov arranges the purchase and sale of the
children while obtaining evidence to dismantle the prostitution
ring and put its monsters behind bars. Witness to - and powerless
to stop - the childrens training sessions, Seminkov arranges to
have Vasya stay in his room. Pretending to have the same sick
appetites as the men he works for, Seminkov is able to offer the
boy small respites from his living hell. Vasya approaches a man in

to his wife, Jennifer, in order to provide a means of escape for
Vasya. The couple smuggle Vasya out of Prague, but Markovic is not
about to give up his prized possession easily. As Philip and
