Her relationship with Adam is unsatisfying, and after a bizarre sexual encounter they split; then she meets Sem, and with him everything is different, her position in the relationship changed from the start. Later she lives alone but keeps returning to him. Meanwhile a long manifesto by a killer, titled Cona (The Zone), circulates on the internet, a novel within the novel.
