Promising Young Woman follows Cassie, played by Carey Mulligan, as she baits predatory men into taking advantage of her in a seemingly intoxicated condition at local bars and nightclubs.
Cassie then turns the tables at the last minute and confronts those men about their actions, before they attempt to sleep with her.
Cassie then reveals herself to the unwitting Al and attempts to carve Nina’s name into his skin.
Al breaks free and proceeds to suffocate Cassie to death.
