When Song Qi stumbles upon her boyfriend, Liu Dong's (Feng Shaofeng) affair with her best friend, Xiaoxi (Huo Siyan), her life quickly starts falling apart and she is subsequently drawn into revenge and murder. Though all is not as it seems and Song Qi will have to embark on a twisted journey into her past and the very depths of her own mind.
Song Qi confronts Xiaoxi about her affair with her boyfriend, in which Xiaoxi states that Liu Dong really loves her instead of Song Qi. Song Qi starts verbally and physically abusing Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi finally breaks apart and calls Liu Dong. Song Qi becomes murderous and used an orange scarf of Xiaoxi's to strangle her to death.
Song Qi comes back to Xiaoxi's house at night and buries her underneath bricks in her garden. She then confronts her boyfriend, Liu Dong, also about the affair. Liu Dong denies at first but then he admits to liking Xiaoxi. Song Qi weeps saddenly and the two's love relationship takes a harsh downward spiral.
A policeman, Liu Jian (Fang Li), visits Song Qi after a few days to question about Xiaoxi's sudden disappearance and also her whereabouts. Song Qi denies that she know where Xiaoxi is. The police remains suspicious, but he leaves. Song Qi starts having hallucinations and nightmares at night of Xiaoxi visiting her and haunting her. A few more days pass and Liu Dong is also suspicious about Song Qi. He confronts her and shows her the orange scarf that Song Qi choked Xiaoxi with. He claims that he gave her the scarf, and he knows she couldn't have bought an identical one because the orange scarf's patterns are askew, and he will show the police about it. Song Qi is terrified and she tries to take it back, but she fails. Liu Dong shows the orange scarf to Liu Jian the next day.
Song Qi then makes a run for it when she stumbles into Liu Dong showing the orange scarf to the Liu Jian. She drives into the wilderness to a lake. She jumps into the lake to swim but she quickly gets out when she saw a hallucination of Xiaoxi swimming also in the lake. Later, she eats at a restaurant when she saw Liu Jian coming into the restaurant and questioning people, presumably about her. She hides and runs out the restaurant via the kitchens. She stumbles in the forest and knocks her head on a tree, creating a bloody mark on her head.
