In a desperate search for employment without intrusive questions about their past, the protagonist finds refuge in the Garricks' luxurious penthouse. Assigned to cleaning duties and meal preparation, they observe peculiarities hinting at dark secrets within the household. Upon encountering Mrs. Garrick's distress and suspicious stains, curiosity leads them to a pivotal discovery that alters their plans. Driven by past experiences, they vow to shield Mrs. Garrick and seek retribution against her husband. However, the extent of their determination raises the question: how much are they willing to sacrifice for justice?
