When Caglar discovers their date Rowan is a serial killer with a bloody naked corpse hidden in their home, they suddenly find themselves pleading for their life. The realization that the corpse is a mutually disliked acquaintance, however, changes things. Rowan is left charmed enough to let Caglar live on the condition that they keep quiet about what happened. Unfortunately, Caglar remains haunted by the corpse and quickly breaks the agreement by enlisting the help of their friend Armani. Rowan determines both Caglar and Armani must now die, until they successfully befriend them. Now a trio, they begin to influence one another in ways none of them were expecting, each taking progressively further steps outside their comfort zone. As their inhibitions continue to lower, Armani’s ultra-religious family becomes concerned, a volatile combination which leads to an alarming and deadly conclusion.

A commentary on society’s perverse glorification of violence and our unusual hangups with sex/nudity combining elements of comedy and horror.
