The woman also introduces Eve into the virtual world that people capable of afford it lives in. the woman is a divorcee living out of her former husband's Alimony. The woman commits suicide the next day, leaving Eve in the mansion to take her identity and alimony (as the ex-husband pays electronically and never visits). Flashbacks show that Eve was a little girl and the daughter of a guard living in the island when a prisoners' riot happened. Her father was murdered and her mother raped and murdered, she was kept under the care of one of the inmates (the one she kills at the beginning of the movie) who apparently molested her for years and kept her as a servant, prompting her distrust toward men and toward sex in general.
She goes into the virtual world visiting a bar run by Peyton (Fairchild) were she meets Vegas (Mandylor) the policeman investigating the murder in the beach. There they become lovers. While she's reluctant at first, she finally gives in into the relationship. Vegas finally finds her but also does one of the agents of the penal corporation tracking the escapee.
