The 9-minute film opens in suspense as the crime boss waits for a delivery by the sultry couple. Introduced for the first time, the boss overlooks the supremacy of the woman – disregarding her competence in favour of her male accomplice. Vengeful turmoil erupts when the boss betrays their trust – which leads to an explosive unveiling of female empowerment.
