Description: In Glasgow, a motorcyclist finds an unconscious young woman by the roadside and places her in a van. Inside, a naked woman takes the young woman’s clothes. After purchasing clothing and makeup at a shopping center, the woman drives around towns, luring men into her van. She takes one man to a dilapidated house, where he undresses and follows her into a void, only to be submerged in a liquid abyss.
At a beach, the woman tries to pick up a swimmer but is interrupted by a drowning couple. The swimmer rescues the husband, but the husband drowns trying to save his wife. Afterward, the woman strikes the swimmer with a rock, drags him to the van, and drives away, leaving the couple’s crying baby on the beach. Later, the motorcyclist retrieves the swimmer’s belongings, still ignoring the baby.
The woman visits a nightclub and seduces another man, leading him to the same house where he is submerged in the liquid. Suspended, he sees the swimmer floating nearby, alive but bloated and immobile. When he tries to touch the swimmer, the body collapses, and a red mass drains through a trough.
The next day, the woman receives a rose from a street vendor. She hears a radio report about the missing family from the beach. Later, she enters a dark room where the motorcyclist examines her. While walking on the sidewalk, she trips and is helped by strangers. Scenes of city life and human interactions are shown. The woman then seduces a lonely man with facial disfigurement but allows him to leave after examining herself in a mirror. The motorcyclist intercepts the man and places him in a car before pursuing the woman with three other motorcyclists.
