Beauty is so desirable for many women that they seek to obtain it even if that means placing themselves under a plastic surgeon’s scalpel, but for her, it is nothing more than a given in her everyday life. Whenever she walks on the street, men stare at her and women are envious of her irresistible beauty. Even her best friend’s boyfriend also courts her behind his girlfriend and because of that, misunderstanding results and she loses friendship. Gradually she begins to feel exhausted and stressed from the stares from men and jealousies from women. One day, she is raped by a man who has been stalking her.

And one day, she begins to see the supposedly incarcerated rapist on the street…
