Former police detective Sami Kierce recalls his vacation to Spain’s Costa del Sol region following his college graduation. Sami addresses his recollections to Anna, the beautiful young woman he met at a club. Sami was travelling with his college roommate, Quinn, and Quinn’s lacrosse team. Sami locked eyes with Anna on the dance floor and boldly approached her. After dancing together, Sami left for Anna’s apartment. They had sex and spent the next two days together. Not wanting to leave Anna, Sami stayed behind while Quinn and the team continued their travels. Sami wonders how different his life would be if he had gone with his friends.

Sami moved out of his hostel into Anna’s apartment after five days, and the couple drank, partied, and used drugs daily. Sami questions Anna’s unusual life in Spain, since the only other person she spoke to was her drug dealer, Buzz. Sami can’t remember his final night out with Anna, but the next morning, he saw her covered in blood, and he was holding a bloody knife.
