21-year-old Mal is horrified when she finds the love of her life in an ice tub in an abandoned building, soon learning that he was tortured and missing a kidney. With the small amount of given information about an organ trafficking syndicate lurking around, the police dismiss said case of abduction and assault, due to lack of evidence.

In another place, 49-year-old Amanda Gluck goes missing and the only suspect anyone could think of has an alibi. A strong one, at that. The police mark the case as unsolved, despite her son Griffin's insistence that he knew who did it.

Now fast forward a month later. Mal and her eight friends are invited to a grand opening ceremony held by her businesswoman mother. The nine attempt to forget about everything that they had gone through in such event, along with the romantic music playing in the background, and drinks offered to them by staff members, along with fantastic meals to suit everyone's taste.

Nothing could go wrong. Or so they thought.

What happens when things start to go downhill the moment they reach home after the ceremony?

And what happens when another body is found in the woods, near the town of wealth and peace?

And what happens when they connect two and two together, soon realizing that all the cases were connected to one, unknown serial killer?
