'Petra Penfold-Knight, accustomed to her own way from birth, grows up to lead a religious cult whose devotees wear red shoes. The cult attracts members through Petra's magnetism, as well as by more sinister means, such as stealing baby girls from their mothers. An angel is assigned as guardian to Petra, and must continually examine his own moral position as he hovers beside the woman and observes child-stealing, violence, rape and murder committed in the name of religion. Contains descriptions of sex, coarse language, strong violence, child abuse and drug use.
