Emma was born to a single mother, Marlena, who suffered from mental illness and eventually took her own life. From then on Emma was handed over to the care of her grandparents – a couple of pharmacists who did not want her, abused her emotionally and made her work in the pharmacy from the age of 11. Emma poisons the old couple to death, but after a while a police detective appears on her doorstep, suspecting her involvement in their deaths. Emma flies to New York to take revenge on her father, Jay Kendrick, whom she has never known and whose name she does not even know. At first Jay denies the possibility that Emma is really his daughter. But he is soon convinced and begins to shower her with warmth and love. Yet Emma still burns with the urge for revenge for all the years he ignored her existence and her mother's dysfunctional state. The film's ending is very moving and uncompromising.
