The side of the girl’s face is swollen and has turned a swirl of red and black. With her back pressed against the cold wall and her hands tied and spread like Jesus on the cross, she slowly awakens from unconsciousness. How did things possibly get to this point?
TORA KATO is, in every sense of the word, unassuming. With no friends to mention, she spends her days diligently learning at the local college, studying karate and helping her dad at his locksmith store called, Sure Lock Homes. Nobody pays her much attention.
As happens from time to time, one fateful day everything changed. Four friends, KALI, BANYAN, DANTE AND THORNE are walking in front of Tora when suddenly Kali loses her footing and falls onto the street. Tora’s karate instincts kick in and she scoops Kali from the street seconds before contact with an oncoming car. These four obscenely wealthy friends are so grateful for Tora’s heroics that they bring her into their inner circle and into the giant mansion within which they all live.
It doesn’t take long, however, to see that there is much more about Tora’s new, rich friends than the drinking and pill popping partiers they present themselves to be. There is definitely something about them that is evil… very evil.
At first, Tora is so wrapped up in her new life of fun and debauchery that she is oblivious to how Kali holds some kind of power over the other three. Tora is also blissfully unaware of the late-night, tortured screams permeating from behind the mysterious solid-steel door that leads down into the basement. It isn’t until Tora secretly witnesses her new friends do something that she was definitely not meant to see that she concludes something isn’t right. She was obviously brought into their circle for a reason… but what?
This is when Tora decides to conduct her own investigation. Utilizing her skills as a locksmith, she easily enters the mansion when nobody is home. Unfortunately, it turns out the giant home is not unoccupied. As secrets are revealed and all hell breaks loose, she needs to utilize all of her skills to stay alive.
