Overview
1998: After being committed to a drunkard's home by her friend Uschi, Edith is released 16 years later. Now she can finally take revenge on Uschi - by mixing mutation powder into her drink. But things turn out differently than expected! By coincidence, the two get into a timeslip and Uschi wins millions in the lottery, which she uses to buy a house with her mother and husband. Strange things start to happen there after the mutation powder takes effect...
