Keeping the attack to herself, Mary Ann runs away, seeking to lose herself in Manhattan by renting a seedy flat and taking a job in a dime store.
Overwhelmed by peoples hostility and her own despair, Mary Ann tries to jump off the Manhattan Bridge, only to be stopped by Mike, a garage mcehanic who takes her back to his modest basement apartment nearby. At first appreciative of Mikes kindness, Mary Ann becomes terrified when he refuses to let her leave. Is Mike really Mary Anns rescuer - or is he another rapist?
