A young woman is released from prison, after serving an eight-year sentence for murder, and wishes to start her life over. Getting a job at a newspaper through a friend, she tries to settle in despite the pressures of being an ex-convict. When bizarre incidents begin to occur both at work and at home, the woman suspects that someone has a vendetta against her. NOTE: This is the 1985 IFD (Godfrey Ho & company) re-edit (with English dubbing) of Karen Yang Taiwanese thriller, Exposed to Danger.
