Her death, however, marks the beginning of a series of bizarre murders where the victims happen to be members of the gang who attacked Sofia--and it perplexes both Arnold and the police that they could pinpoint no other perpetrator of these murders than Sofia herself. Everyone who knows of the crime has come to only one conclusion: Sofia will not stop until everyone who violated her falls dead by her hands.
