The main character is forced to sleep with the villain as she is a servant of sorts. The villain allowed her to get married and she has a little girl. The villain works under the guise of a “good guy” trying to get her papers so she can be free but things happen and he ends up at her home where she sees her husband and child murdered and then gang-raped where she can still see their bodies. Later on, the villain is on a road trip and comes across a native woman and her child, they capture her and take turns until her village comes to rescue her. They kill her right in front of them.
