In a small town, meat-cutter Marvin Lundy is a model citizen. But beneath his affable exterior lurks a twisted fascination with slaughter. When he discovers his wife's infidelity, Marvin's grip on sanity unravels. Driven by a deranged hunger, he embarks on a grisly killing spree, targeting unfaithful spouses and their lovers. Yet, as the body count rises, Marvin's thirst for vengeance only deepens. Blending pitch-black humor with unsettling psychological insight, "Choice Cuts" is a deliciously twisted tale of one man's descent into madness.
