Lebanon stands on the brink of collapse. Amid the chaos, Khattar and Anaïs, two unemployed chemists, resort to a desperate, grotesque experiment: surviving by consuming human flesh. But when Anaïs suddenly vanishes, Khattar is drawn into a brutal underworld of human meat trafficking. The grim trade escalates further as he finds himself entangled in a dark operation that trades flesh for advanced digital sniper weapons, blurring the lines between survival, crime, and the country’s descent into madness.
