A boy goes to a hairdresser and reads a comic while waiting for his turn. The comic's episodes are interspersed with the boy's wait, which becomes increasingly dangerous and disturbing.

Devastated and depressed by the death of his girlfriend Iris—brutally murdered by an unknown killer—Aristodemo purchases a life-sized sex doll named Persephone. He subsequently descends into a state of progressive delusion, eventually convincing himself that Persephone has come to life. As he spirals into increasingly extreme sexual acts with the doll, the killer who murdered Iris strikes again.
