A body-horror curse narrative that uses supernatural punishment to explore guilt, desperation, and the inescapability of karmic retribution.

An obese lawyer finds himself growing "Thinner" when an old Romani man places a hex on him. Now the lawyer must call upon his friends in organized crime to help him persuade the old man to lift the curse. Time is running out for the desperate lawyer as he draws closer to his own death, and grows ever thinner.
