Anna loses her sense of taste and flees after her fiancé joins her bully in cruel food torture.
A sudden fever leaves Anna unable to taste, stripping away her defense against Chloe, who engineers every meal to revolt her. Ethan, her fiancé, refuses to intervene; instead he films each humiliation and repeats Chloe's lie that the torment counts as therapy. The abuse peaks at Anna's birthday when Chloe serves cheese crawling with maggots while Ethan laughs. A final disgusting drinking game shatters Anna's resolve, and she slips away before sunrise. Ethan assumes she will come back, until a medical report reveals the permanent damage their cruelty has inflicted.
