This comic includes a disclaimer on its first page warning that it contains disturbing descriptions of torture, kidnapping, graphic violence, violence against women, physical abuse, and death, but that eventually, the revenge will be just as cruel.
Tee is a young woman who stays late working, stocking a store, when she is accosted by five men who brutally beat her and take her to a barn.
In this barn, she is tortured mercilessly for forty-four days, without any reason, and her name is changed to "dogshit." None of the aggressors use their names; she refers to them based on their behavior:
-Ruthless Boy: the most verbally aggressive
-Kicking Boy: the one who loves to kick her constantly
-Laughing Boy: the one who laughs at all the abuse and also carries out his aggression in the form of twisted, cruel jokes
-Artistic Boy: one of the quietest and complicit in the whole situation
-Fifth Boy: he only observes and gives orders on how to torture her. He never directly participated in the torture; he was quiet, but his sickly satisfied expression was the most chilling.
This group of depraved individuals cut off Tee's big toe to send to her parents for ransom on day three. On day thirty-eight, Tee loses all hope of survival because the news reveals that her parents, convinced they had killed her, commit suicide.
On day forty-four, they douse her with gasoline and set her on fire. She gives no signs of life, and they dump her body on a pier. She is rescued by a couple and taken to the hospital. Unidentified, she escapes and takes refuge in a barn at Father Guerrero's church. They mistake her for an animal, and the priest takes her in.
The story jumps four years into the future, where these five assailants are living their normal lives and celebrating the fourth anniversary of their unpunished crime. They are wealthy, and Tee is going to be involved in this celebration. By showing that they all have a lot of money, it makes it clear that one of the motives for the kidnapping was never financial.
This shocking story doesn't stray far from the harsh reality where senseless violence against women is a frequently unpunished crime. The detailed narrative makes you feel the overwhelming need for these five psychopaths to get what they deserve.
