Synopsis
A high school girl working as a prostitute on the street revives as a killing machine after she was torso murdered by her teacher. Her memory comes back from a shock she had from her chest injury during a fight, and she revenges herself on the teacher and the three brothers with birthmarks who committed the torso murder at the teacher's instigation...
An acrid and sarcastic criticism about hypocrisy, deception and the violent authority of an older generation supposedly leading the young.
