A deeply unsettling psychological horror that weaponizes body horror and eating disorders to explore guilt, haunting, and the violation of bodily autonomy.

After succumbing to an obscure weight-loss craze involving the eating of human ashes, lovelorn medical student Hana finds herself haunted by the ghost of the person she's eating.
