Opening Scene starts with detective 1 leaving home and saying goodbye to his wife who tells him she will be going out tonight for a walk. Scene cuts to later that night, D1 staring at the ground and smoking, he is waiting for detective 2 to come out of the crime scene and reevaluate the situation, see if any new clues were found detailing the murder. Nothing has been found and so the detective 2 signals this by shaking his head, the corpse is dismembered so they cannot discover who the victim was. They start walking home and D1 returns to his house and discovers that his wife is missing, in their house he discovers another mans coat and concludes that she has been cheating on him with another man. He decides to wait for her to arrive back at home to confront her but she doesn't the whole night. The next morning he sets out to work again despite this anguish he feels, to discover that they found a part of a coat sleeve which is torn, D1 discovers that D2 has a similar coat and then goes home to see the same coat later that night with his initials in it and finding the weapon inside the coat that was used

The detective returns home from a crime scene where a man has been brutally murdered and his corpse has been dismembered, he comes home to his wife who subtly hints to him throughout the night that she is the murderer of the victim from the crime scene and is a cannibal, the audience receives hints throughout the entire film through the use of imagery, colours, character behaviour. Examples of this include her food having a bullet in, her kitchen knife being bloody and she is sharpening it, and the clothes of the man being hung up as he walks in to the house. He first questions her about the coat when he enters but is told that she had a friend around earlier and must of left it. After piecing together the clues he finds out his wife's true identity but before he can stop her he is murdered.
