His beloved sister Christina, who went from greatness to decay as the famous porn-star The Princess is dead after years of drug abuse. She leaves behind her 5-year old daughter Mia, whom August feels obliged to take care of. Weighed down by grief and guilt he decides to revenge the death of Christina – and takes Mia on a mission to destroy all existing pornographic material featuring her mother.
