Hani, a young girl from the quiet village of Vescale, is thrust into a nightmare that will haunt her for the rest of her life. At the age of five, she witnesses the brutal assault and near-death of her mother by an unknown man. Left with a scarred memory and a heart full of rage, Hani vows to take revenge on the man who destroyed her family.
Growing up, Hani becomes a woman driven by this dark promise, her life consumed with finding the man who shattered her world. Despite the love and care of her older sister, who tries to protect her, Hani's relentless pursuit of justice leads her down a path of darkness. She takes on multiple jobs, pushing herself to the brink of exhaustion, all for the sake of paying her mother's medical bills and to uncover the identity of the man who caused their suffering.
As Hani's life spirals further into obsession, she transforms from a naive child into a cold, calculated killer-someone willing to sacrifice anything for revenge. With every step closer to her goal, Hani becomes more dangerous, her emotions hardened by years of pain and unresolved trauma.
In the end, Hani's journey will force her to confront not only the man who hurt her mother but the darkness that has taken over her soul. Will she be able to reclaim her humanity, or will the quest for vengeance consume her completely?
