After the man who violated her dies in an accident, a young art student becomes unsettled by how easily some offenders escape accountability. She shifts from private pain to a bold plan, keeping her identity hidden while she tests what happens when the system fails. She enlists a small circle of outsiders who share a desire to confront rapists who slip past charges, turning personal harm into a dangerous project. The film follows her growing resolve as she weighs risks against the call for justice, knowing every choice will ripple through her friendships and her future.
