After walking away from her rich, but dysfunctional family, Sybylla Forenstrom supports herself by scamming wealthy men on the streets of Stockholm. She often preys on visiting businessmen and charms them for a dinner and room. One night however, she chooses the wrong man and wakes up to find him dead and mutilated.
