A deeply disturbing psychological thriller that uses body horror and compulsive self-destruction as a metaphor for trauma, control, and the erasure of female autonomy.

Hunter, a newly pregnant housewife, finds herself increasingly compelled to consume dangerous objects. As her husband and his family tighten their control over her life, she must confront the dark secret behind her new obsession.
