Synopsis

In a bustling street known for its nightlife, a mutant praying mantis seduces and preys on men out of desperation to save her child. A failed mission leads to revelations about her past and dark secrets as the story unfolds.

Director’s Statement

This film tells a story of selfless sacrifice and courage born of maternal love. A mother is always willing to give everything for her child, no matter how high the price.
