A grotesque, paranoid satire of celebrity obsession and commodified bodies that uses body horror and dark comedy to explore the sickness of fandom itself.

Syd March is employed at a clinic that sells injections of live viruses harvested from sick celebrities to obsessed fans.

He must unravel the mystery surrounding her death before he suffers the same fate.
