At the first party, the head counsellor set out to deflower her. Finding him handsome, she lets him do it, as if against her will... Her body becomes a foreign place for her, an offering to be sacrificed.

Vincent, a truck driver, picks up a young pregnant woman. She turns out to have an unstable temper… and an automatic pistol. She orders Vincent to continue driving, without stopping. When he's out of gas, she'll kill him.
