Student Jasmine is working from home today, studying for an important exam. A knock comes on the door and she opens it to a man claiming to be from the electricity board. He says they have received reports of some unusual electrical surges in the area and he wants to enter the house to inspect the wiring. Jasmine admits him and tells him that he needs to look in the basement. She returns to her studies and is so engrossed in her work that she does not hear the electrician creeping up behind her. He presses a cloth over her nose and mouth and poor Jasmine sinks to the floor insensible. When she comes to she finds the man in the process of tying her up. She starts to protest so he stuffs a cloth into her mouth and then ties an over-the-mouth gag around her head. He leaves a ransom note for Jasmine's wealthy parents and carries the girl outside to his car. Later, we join the situation in the electrician's basement where he is busy tying Jasmine to a chair. He goes upstairs to fetch a bottle of water, then removes her gag to let her drink. When she has finished, he applies a cleave gag to his victim and goes back upstairs, leaving her to struggle and to hope that her parents will pay up to save her.
