Soon after she begins work, Walker rapes her and subsequently frames her for the kidnapping of his son Robbie. Holly is sentenced to the Women's State Prison where she meets her fellow inmates: maternal Cissie Johnson imprisoned for the mercy killing of her husband, Faith Cronin a wealthy socialite whose face was savagely scarred by her vicious husband Ben, tough-but-fair Maria Trent, and the leader of the women, top dog Rita Jones. Shortly after Holly's arrival, former inmate Crystal Fox arrives, busted on another prostitution charge. Crystal is instantly attracted to Randy Carter, a hunky electrician hired to rewire the prison. Meanwhile, Faith receives her parole, but before going, she entrusts Cissie with an audio cassette tape to be turned over to the police in the event of her death. On the outside, Faith encounters Ben, who demands to know the location of the drug money stolen by Faith's former lover Harry Blake. Faith lovingly remembers her affair with Harry and the horror of his death at the hands of Ben who slashed her face with a razor and framed her Harry's shooting. Faith coldly tells Ben that she's no longer afraid of him and has no idea where the money is stashed. Later, she returns to rural Cedar Lake Inn, the place where she and Harry had fallen in love. After establishing her identity with Joe Holland, the friendly owner, Faith leaves to consult with a plastic surgeon about the removal of her scars and changing her appearance. She then returns to the inn and phones Ben, insinuating that she'll tell him where the drug money is hidden. When he arrives at Cedar Lake, Faith pretends to be terrified, fires a gun, and leaps from the balcony of her room into the water. As everyone tries to piece together the events of the evening, Faith, having completed plastic surgery, says goodbye to her former life and hello to her new one as Patricia Meadows.
