Unconventional drama directed by and starring Shane Caruth. When Kris (Amy Seimetz), a graphics designer, is unfortunate enough to find herself the subject of the attentions of a thief (Thiago Martins) who employs somewhat unusual methods, her life rapidly goes downhill. In order to get her to transfer her savings to him, the thief implants a parasitic organism into Kris then leaves her to the equally unfavourable attentions of a pig farmer, who transfuses the parasite from Kris into a pig, creating a subliminal connection between the woman and animal.

Kris awakes from the traumatic experience with little recollection of what has happened but is fortunate to meet Jeff (Caruth), who has been the victim of the same process. Will the pair be able to work together to discover what has happened to them?
