In the dystopian world of Ladyworld, a group of young women are confined to a remote mansion after a devastating event. As resources dwindle and tensions rise, their relationships fracture, revealing a complex hierarchy and a descent into psychological torment. They grapple with their isolation, forming cult-like rituals and succumbing to paranoia and violence.
