Kelly + Victor 2012

In Liverpool, Kelly and Victor meet on the dance floor of a nightclub, both under the influence of drugs. They quickly leave the club and return to Kelly’s flat, where they take more drugs and drink whiskey together. While they have sex, Kelly chokes and bites Victor for sexual gratification, and in the morning she admits she got carried away.

Kelly’s desires extend beyond the bedroom when she accompanies a dominatrix friend to whip a masked man to earn money, but she struggles to assume the role and does not enjoy the experience.

On a visit to her mother’s house, Kelly finds that her ex-boyfriend is there, clearly still infatuated but kept at bay by a restraining order.

Victor sets up another date with Kelly, telling her in the pub that he would do anything for her and that their relationship feels special.

Later, Kelly ties Victor’s hands during sex, chokes him, and carves the phrase K + V into his back with cut glass.

Victor tells his friends and his sister that he no longer wants to see Kelly, but he remains preoccupied by her.

After returning from a party, Victor finds Kelly bleeding in the street after she has been attacked by her ex-boyfriend. He takes her to A&E, and the two return home again together.

Kelly again strangles Victor with a tie, him insisting that he will tap her when he has had enough. However, Kelly gets carried away and does not notice that Victor is unable to tap; he dies from asphyxiation, leaving Kelly distraught and listening to a CD mixtape that he made for her.
