In an industrial town, an old laundry becomes the setting for a series of mysterious and horrifying accidents. It all begins when a local detective, a weary man worn down by life but still committed to his work, stumbles upon an extremely ancient ironing machine that seems to have a life of its own. This metal mammoth, known as "the ironer," has been responsible for strange deaths and disappearances within its confines, and as the investigation progresses, the officer begins to uncover a dark secret.
The machine, once a symbol of progress, now reflects the madness of its creator, an owner obsessed with power who develops an almost supernatural relationship with the machine. As the detective delves deeper into the history, he realizes that the machine has an insatiable hunger and that the true danger lies not only in the accidents but in what the machine seems to "devour."
The characters find themselves trapped in a technological nightmare, facing not only a force beyond their control but also their own demons. As chaos erupts and the machine becomes an unstoppable beast, the detective must confront the terrifying reality of what greed and madness can spawn. With unexpected twists and an oppressive atmosphere, this story serves as a chilling reminder that sometimes the true monsters are those we have created.
