Twenty-one months later, Elsie still grieves the death of Lynn. She cannot find closure in the normal societal props, so she dreams of searching for the culprit knowing that law enforcement has failed not only her but Lynn too. During the working hours Elsie behaves like any other individual in society. However, at night a maniacal need to turn into the death goddess seeking vengeance haunts her essence.
