When Lucy, a sexually frustrated young widow, is mysteriously sent a plane ticket to Portugal, she takes a flight into erotic abandon which can only lead to death and damnation. Soon seduced by both a debauched Englishwoman and her Portuguese husband, she sheds the skin of morality like a serpent and begins to act out her darkest, uninhibited sexual desires. Increasingly depraved rituals of narcotics abuse, Satanism and sadomasochism - presided over by Bartolomeo, a Sade-like albino cult leader - eventually lead to the total disintegration of Lucy's ego. At Bartolomeo's isolated villa, a shrine to pornographic art and literature, she finally enters the snake pit... In the literary tradition of Georges Bataille and Alina Reyes, The Snake is a scarifying testament to uncontrolled sexual mania and the phallic power of the primal serpent.
