Marianne and Charlotte work as undercover pest controllers. Their assignments come from an underground network of survivors who reach out to them when institutions have failed them. After a long day of work, all they dream of is noodle soup and a foot massage, but they take on one last job. In the apartment of a seemingly harmless teacher, they find themselves in an unexpected confrontation that spins out of control.
