Catherine ha vissuto la sua giovinezza in modo irresponsabile, tra feste e relazioni occasionali, finché incontra Lee. Con il suo aspetto attraente e il carattere deciso, Lee conquista subito il suo cuore. Dopo un breve corteggiamento, Catherine accetta di vivere con lui, e i primi mesi sono idilliaci: Lee è affettuoso e premuroso. Tuttavia, la sua reticenza riguardo al lavoro suscita qualche sospetto, ma Catherine, innamorata, non ci fa caso. Col tempo, piccoli segni di gelosia e critiche iniziano a manifestarsi, e l'atmosfera cambia. Lee diventa ombroso e misterioso, si assenta per giorni, fino a rivelare il suo vero volto. La situazione degenera in violenza fisica e psicologica, Catherine viene ridotta a una vittima in balia di un carnefice spietato. Solo grazie a una vicina di casa, che la scopre in agonia, Lee viene arrestato. Nonostante la sua liberazione, la violenza ha lasciato segni indelebili nella mente di Catherine. La ragazza cambia percorso per tornare a casa, isola le sue relazioni e sviluppa comportamenti compulsivi, tormentata dal fantasma del suo aguzzino, che diventa reale quando riceve la notizia che Lee è uscito di prigione.
