Synopsis

At the beginning of the video, Goulding is seen in a Las Vegas hotel room setting interspersed between various shots of casinos and people riding horses. As the song begins, she is seen standing in front of a mirror examining herself, before her lover appears behind her. Between shots of Goulding singing towards the camera in an empty blue room, her and her lover are seen at different times in a hotel room and a ballroom together, and her lover is seen drinking at a bar alone. Goulding is then shown in a different setting standing in front of a caravan with a girl, her accomplice, sitting in a chair beside her. The video cuts to an aggressive argument between Goulding and her lover in their hotel room, with him appearing multiple times in the same room constantly shouting and yelling at her while she sits on the end of the bed.

The video gradually shows scenes of the falling apart of their relationship, and now Goulding and her accomplice are shown riding on horseback into Las Vegas and down the Las Vegas Strip, set on revenge on Goulding's former lover. Several shots of Goulding and her accomplice in a hair salon, her former lover living his wealthy lifestyle and flirting with another woman are shown while they continue to ride down the main strip. They approach an unnamed casino, presumably owned by her former lover, and enter the building on their horses while he counts his money. The women are caught on camera riding through the casino, while passing people playing on various poker machines. Her accomplice is seen smashing an expensive vase with a baseball bat interspersed with shots of their conversation in the salon and the two women outside their caravan holding guns. They are shown riding into an area outside the room her former lover is counting his money in, and her accomplice brandishes a sawn-off shotgun, blasting the door to the room open and frightening her former lover. They ride into the room and stay in place, while her former lover argues his case and pleads with them, while various nude glamour shots of Goulding and scenes before the end of their relationship play in between. Her accomplice takes the baseball bat and smashes the lightbulb above them, darkening the room. Her former lover is then seen tied to his chair with duct tape in the dimly lit room, while Goulding and her accomplice ride away on their horses with stacks of her former lover's money.

Various scenes of the aftermath are then shown, including the two women back in the salon clinking their glasses, on a rooftop making it rain with money and her accomplice blowing a hole in the casino ceiling with the sawn-off shotgun. Goulding is then seen walking down a hotel hallway and back in the empty blue room singing, and the video ends with the two women riding off on their horses throwing money in the air.
