The story grapples with themes of love, temptation, and moral conflict, primarily focusing on the characters Karl Mahler, a struggling artist, and Olga Hofmann, a beautiful young woman caught in a web of conflicting emotions and past affections. The narrative provides a compelling examination of the battle between good and evil as it unfolds in the hearts of the characters. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the complex relationship between Karl, Olga, and her husband, Herman. As they interact during a dinner gathering, old feelings and jealousy resurface when it is suggested that Karl should paint Olga's portrait, bringing them alone together for the first time in years. This leads to an emotional stir, incited by the mysterious and malevolent figure of Dr. Millar, who represents temptation and evil. The initial chapters explore their interactions, hinting at the tension that exists beneath the polite surface, setting the stage for the deeper conflicts of love, fidelity, and the struggle against one's desires. Millar’s presence looms, suggesting a sinister influence that threatens to unravel their lives.
