A young couple, Rob and Sophie, purchase alcohol at a convenience store late at night. They are friendly, despite wearing exaggerated gothic fashion and accessories. A teenage boy, named Michael, asks Sophie if he can touch her hair - black and red dreadlocks - and she agrees joyfully, joking that she will have to charge him next time. Michael invites them to the park.
In the park, there is a crowd of young people. Most of them, especially the girls, find their fashion style interesting and one girl asks to have a photo taken with them. The gothic couple and the street teenagers get along well with each other. However, less than half an hour later, Rob and Sophie are shown beaten in a bloody scene, and Sophie is knocked unconscious.
Detective Constable Farley is in charge of the investigation. She interviews Michael, who had called an ambulance to the scene, and he states that he was passing by when he happened to see the injured couple. Farley is informed that the CCTV cameras in the neighbourhood were out of service and did not capture any footage that night. Without any witnesses or evidence, the case appears to have reached a dead end. The teenagers lie about the incident, though Michael expresses sympathy and regret, and reflects on what happened to Sophie and Rob.
Rob awakens in hospital with serious injuries and no recollection of what happened. Sophie is in a coma for two weeks before her family make the difficult decision to terminate her life support. Michael learns of this and comes forward to police with his testimony, despite fearing the threats of the gang leader.
Flashbacks throughout reveal Rob and Sophie's relationship. Rob falls in love with Sophie at first sight at a pub and takes her to his secret base. As an art student, he paints wings on Sophie's back because he thinks she is an angel and regards her as his Mona Lisa. Sophie is a fan of the Harry Potter series, so Rob reads a Harry Potter book with her, enjoying their romance on a freezing hilltop.
Before this case, Rob and Sophie were once threatened because of their appearance. Traumatised by the beating and Sophie's death, Rob becomes frightened to go outside. However, by the end of the film, Rob decides to wear goth fashion and makeup again, in memory of Sophie and also standing up for their beliefs.
