The story unfolds with a dark and intense beginning. The protagonist, known as RD, is a character with a disturbing penchant for inflicting pain. We first see RD torturing a man who had a fetish for biting women. In the middle of this brutal act, RD's phone rings. It's Hermine, and their conversation is short - tempered, with RD hanging up in annoyance. After that, RD leaves the lifeless body and is on the verge of leaving the place when he notices three men harassing a young girl. Driven by his craving for a new "plaything" and perhaps a sense of distorted justice, RD steps in and quickly dispatches the three men with his knife, his movements precise and ruthless.
The scene then shifts to Zinnia, a young woman working at Brookside Club. Her life is far from easy, as she endures the perverted advances of customers. One such incident occurs when a man at the club grabs her, and she's only saved by her co - worker Alex. Later, Zinnia is serving a man dressed in all black at the club. This man questions her about allowing herself to be mistreated and offers her a credit card as a tip. Zinnia is initially skeptical and refuses the card, but when she realizes it's loaded, she uses it to pay for her expenses and goes shopping with Alex.
During their shopping trip, Zinnia receives a creepy message about the red lingerie she admired in the store. She tries to brush it off as a prank. However, when she returns home, she finds the lingerie, along with a bouquet and more lingerie in different colors, waiting for her on her bed. She then realizes she's being stalked.
The next day at work, Zinnia is on edge. She runs into the man in black again, and this time, she notices a long scar across his left eye. Throughout the night, she feels like she's being watched. When Alex tells her that the bodies of two perverted men from the club were found, Zinnia is shocked but also relieved that the club might be a bit safer for Alex.
After work, Zinnia is dreading going home. Her fears are confirmed when she receives more threatening messages from her stalker. When she finally arrives home, she finds a box containing a dried - up hand. Horrified, she calls the police. But when the cop arrives, there's no sign of the box or the hand, and even the text messages from the stalker have disappeared. The cop dismisses her claims as hallucinations, leaving Zinnia confused and alone, with the stalker still out there, taunting her with a final message asking how she liked his "gift".
