This chilling concept weaves an intricate tapestry of horror, dark humor, and social commentary, exploring the extremes of human nature and morality within the framework of a domestic setting.
The narrative unfolds with a series of bizarre and grotesque events that force the Quills to confront their insatiable hunger and the consequences of their actions. Each family member grapples with their own demons, revealing the complexities of identity, desire, and the lengths one will go to sustain their appetite.

This compelling tale of horror and humanity challenges the notion of normality and leaves a lingering question: what lengths would one go to for love, family, and survival?
