She is tricked into delivering a briefcase containing a mysterious synthetic drug known as CPH4 by her deceitful boyfriend. The drug, when ingested, enhances a person's cognitive abilities beyond human comprehension.

During the delivery, Lucy is kidnapped and forcibly operated on by the drug traffickers.
