Hannah has spent ten years fighting cancer. At thirty, she exists somewhere between living and dying. Scott, her boyfriend, has become her caregiver rather than her partner. She has no job, no plans, and no hope left. Then doctors offer her a spot in a phase one clinical trial. The experimental treatment works immediately. Her appetite returns that first evening and keeps expanding. Hannah, a lifelong vegetarian, begins craving meat. But food is only the beginning. She wants everything now. New desires emerge alongside old ones she had buried. She becomes reckless and starts lying. The miracle drug is working, but Hannah discovers her renewed hunger comes with consequences she never anticipated. Her body, which had betrayed her with illness, now betrays her in entirely different ways.
