A darkly comedic crime-horror hybrid that mines grotesque humor from a real serial killer case, balancing procedural investigation with graphic violence and tonal whiplash.

Macau cops begin to suspect a man running a pork buns restaurant of murder, after tracing the origin of a case full of chopped up human remains that washed ashore, which leads them to him.
