Élianor ist eine junge Frau, deren Existenz nur aus langem Leiden bestand. Wegen ihres Gewichts war sie ihr ganzes Leben lang Ziel von Spott, sowohl im Familienkreis als auch in der gesamten Stadt. Die Wände der Schule wurden für sie zur Bühne eines täglichen und gnadenlosen Mobbings. Ihr Martyrium erreichte seinen Höhepunkt während einer öffentlichen Erniedrigung, so grausam und so gewalttätig inszeniert, dass sie mit einem unauslöschlichen Schandmal in den Augen aller bedeckt war. Zerbrochen und von Scham zerfressen, blieb ihr nichts anderes übrig, als aus dieser Stadt zu fliehen, die zu einer Hölle geworden war. Ihr Exil war von einem weiteren Drama geprägt: Sie ging fort, mit einem Kind in sich, dessen Vaterschaft sie nicht kannte, möglicherweise das Ergebnis einer letzten Gewaltsamkeit oder einer verzweifelten Beziehung. Fünf Jahre später kehrt Élianor zurück. Das schüchterne und verletzte Mädchen ist verschwunden. An ihrer Stelle steht eine Frau von atemberaubender Schönheit, schlank und strahlend, ausgestattet mit einer Kraft und Autorität, die nicht angefochten werden können. Sie kehrt zurück auf das Land ihres ehemaligen Albtraums mit einer einzigen obsessiven Idee: sich mit kalter Methodik an all jenen zu rächen, die sie gebrochen haben, und der gesamten Stadt den Preis für ihre Gleichgültigkeit und Grausamkeit zu berechnen.
