The narrative employs distinct elements to create an atmosphere of suspense and thrill. It opens with a visual whose significance is ascertained only by the climax and the eventual conclusion of the film. The story is of a single mother and her daughter's birthday. As she busies herself baking a cake for her, a visitor arrives, unexpectedly for the viewer, but can the same be said for the protagonist?
