Once upon a time in the suburbs, there lived a teenager named Alice. A pretty girl who liked to play games. Games of seduction. Games of violence. One day Alice decided to kill Said, a handsome and cocky classmate, so she manipulated her naive boyfriend Luc into committing the cold-blooded crime as proof of his love. Alice thought that she had carefully planned everything. But a life of true crime can be filled with so many difficulties. Alice and Luc went to the forest to dispose of Said's body. Once their work was done, Alice and Luc noticed they were lost. Luckily, they found a rowboat on a stream. But it only carried them deeper into nowhere. Poor Alice and Luc.

But Alice and Luc didn't realize they were about to discover that life is not a fairy tale at all...
