Following her husband’s accidental death, she is shaken to the very core of her existence.
Soon, Blum realizes that her husband was murdered because he was in the process of uncovering terrible secrets. She sets out on a quest for revenge, but during her pursuit, she turns from predator to prey. In the release trailer, Blum receives sympathy from the community who tells her that this is all god’s will, but do they have good intentions – is not clear.
