When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted, unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship.

But soon, Eileen's affection for Rebecca pulls her into a crime that far surpasses even her own wild imagination.
