At the start of the film we see Victoria Lake (Vicky) sitting in what seems to be a psychiatric hospital. She is talking to someone (we don’t see their face, just hear their voice). She is asked about her earliest memory.
We see Vicky at eight years old being read the book snow white by her mother before she and her husband (Karl) attends a business party. We see Vicky re-reading the book underneath her duvet with a torch but while this is happening we see her mother being chased by a mysterious figure in the woods. The next morning and it is revealed that she has been tortured and brutally murdered.
Its ten years later and Karl has remarried and Vicky has been mainly brought up by her Stepmother (Henriette) as Karl is now a major CEO at an insurance company.
The psychiatrist then asks her if she could tell her about the previous three weeks.
Vicky comes across as quite reserved and an outcast from most of her peers at school. She reads her report on the Brothers Grimm out to her class at school and they make a mockery of her. Jacob is the only one to stand up for her. Later on in the cafeteria most of the students are talking about the missing five female students from their year. It is known that Jacob has had some sort of interest in them before they went missing. One certain girl starts to make rumours and make a mockery of Jacob when he walks in. Vicky stands up for him and then the whole cafeteria tease her about liking Jacob amongst other things. She then rejects what they say and starts embarrassing him along with everyone else as they throw their apples at him. That same girl who fired things up in the cafeteria has to stay behind after school in the art department to finish off some work, but it seems like she’s not alone as there are mysterious noises and shadows about. We don’t see a face but the figure attacks the girl with a knife and is seen taking art supplies and using them for something.
In the school car park Jacob gets in his car but before he can drive away Vicky comes to him and apologises to Jacob. Even though he doesn’t want to he accepts and they arrange to go to a friend’s party later on.
Later on at home Vicky prepares to get ready to go out but then her stepmother tells her she has to go to one of her fathers friends party. Through much arguing between her and the two parents she reluctantly agrees to go, forgetting all about Jacob, leaving him to be humiliated by everyone.
Halfway through the business party and Vicky is on her own and bored. She decides to go and look for her Dad. She then finds him outside but he’s a bit far away and with two other men. Assuming that it’s probably discussing business she waits for him to finish but manages to listen in their conversation. What Vicky discovers is that her father is in a highly illegal deal.
After one of the men leaves Vicky goes to talk her father and he tries to get himself out of the situation. Vicky doesn’t back down and her father becomes impatient and annoyed. He then reveals something about her mother and this raises awareness for Vicky in thinking he had something to do with her death. Vicky gets scared by her father’s anger and worried that he has revealed too much he tries to talk Vicky into going for a drive. She doesn’t like the idea of it and runs in the direction to the woods. Karl sends his right hand man (Jon) to ‘take care of her’ and he follows her into the woods. Jon chases Vicky through the woods but loses sight of her. In the need to bring back some evidence for his boss he spots to police men that are searching the area and chops them up with his axe and takes the necessary pieces back to Karl.
While Vicky is still running in to the early hours of the morning, she bumps into a man with a white mask. She turns around and there are seven of them. She is made to become unconscious and they take her to an abandon shelter deep in the woods.
The four of the seven men tie her up and torture her for almost three weeks. Soon after, the other three take her out of the shelter and somewhere else during the night. However they meet Jon on their way and he aims to kill Vicky but ends up murdering the masked men. As Vicky struggles to get out of the woods she realises she can’t out run Jon so she hides behind a tree and waits for him to come. That is when she kills him with a tree branch. Once he’s dead she can see the four other men in white masks coming after her so she takes the axe and starts running. While looking back to see if they’re gaining on her she collides with Jacob. Thinking that he’s on her side and willing to be her help get away from the men, she wonders why he’s just staring at her. Jacob then reveals how he feels for Vicky and how he felt when she ‘abandoned’ him. He then tells her that she needs to learn her lesson. Before she can runway, Jacob grabs hold of her and knocks her out unconscious. When she wakes up she screams as she is on top of six dead bodies. She soon discovers that these were the girls that went missing from school.
Trying to figure out where she is, Jacob has now handcuffed them together and makes out that it is their new home together. While he is talking about this she sees the axe lying on the floor and a ladder leading upwards. She makes a grab for the axe and aims it at his head killing him. Unable to find a key for the handcuffs she makes it up the ladder but the latch door gets caught on her hand resulting in her having to chop her hand off as she has been spotted by the men in the masks and needs to get away. She finally makes it out of the woods and she spots a police car. Nobody is there so she gets in and tries to contact someone but no one is picking up. Just then the four men come up to the car. Panicking, Vicky searches for something and she finds a gun. She shoots two of them in the head and uses the axe in one of the man’s back. As the last one is behind the car, Vicky reverses back and knocks him into a tree.
Soon after there are police cars coming to the scene. Vicky assumes that they are there to save her but they aim their guns at her and she faints on to the floor.
When she wakes up she finds out she’s in a hospital and is being charged with the murders of all the recent people that have been killed.
Vicky is now at the police station and she tries to tell them her story but they don’t believe her.
The film now goes back to Vicky finishing talking to the psychiatrist and then she leaves. An unexpected visitor arrives and it happens to be Vicky’s father. She screams at him to leave but he doesn’t. He tells her how he managed to frame her. There are flashback scenes in how he does it. Karl then leaves but puts and apple in her hand. That night someone is shown breaking into a house. That someone is shown walking up the stairs and opening a bedroom door. The person jumps on the bed and starts using an axe on Karl and chopping him up in order to rip out his heart. It is then revealed that it’s Vicky. Her stepmother walks in as Vicky takes a bite of an apple. At the psychiatry hospital there is a breakout shown and an empty room which happens to be Vicky’s.
When the police arrive at the house they find that Henriette as well as Karl are dead their hearts been replaced with apples. Vicky is then seen getting in a car with the axe then driving off down the road
