Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Thana, a bashful New York City dressmaker struggling for survival in a big city rife with violence, catches the eye of a hideous predator while on her way home after work. As brutal force leaves the young woman in silent shock in a quiet back alley, Thana will soon realise her ordeal is far from over. Because, strange as it may sound, more unspeakable terror awaits the bruised and abused Thana in her house. But the violent, traumatic experiences have had a tremendous impact on her. Now, only the insatiable thirst for revenge keeps Thana alive. And as the once vulnerable little lamb embraces radical change, no man is safe from her compact Star Model BM semi-automatic pistol.
