Sixteen-year-old Summer lives in a small town and she loves her boyfriend Lewis unconditionally. Her friend throws a party one night but Lewis can’t attend; he isn’t too keen on the idea of Summer travelling alone at night, either. She reassures him it will be OK and tells him not to worry.

But as she walks through the woods, a tall man who Summer has never seen before steps out of the darkness and asks, “Lily?” Summer makes it clear that her name isn’t Lily, but the man doesn’t listen and repeats, “Lily, you are my Lily.” Then, he grabs Summer, muffles her screams with his hand and throws her into the back of his truck. When she comes to, she realizes she is in a fully furnished basement with four vases; three are filled with flowers and the fourth is empty. Summer also notices that she isn’t the only person down there --- three other women who are dressed the same are surrounding her. “Good night, flowers,” the man says to all four women, then walks up the stairs and bolts the basement door shut.
