Description

In a Frankenstein-esque gothic laboratory, a young woman, driven by her quest for eternal life, strikes a dangerous deal with a mad scientist and her assistant. Chronicled in real-time by a writer (musician Larissa Simpson), the woman’s pact takes a dark turn, sending her to another dimension. When she returns, she discovers she’s been transformed into an immortal fanged cannibal, grappling with the horrifying challenges of her new existence, including the need to consume human flesh. Her desperate attempts to escape lead to a series of misadventures, from being recaptured by the scientist to indulging in blood-soaked ice cream outings. Ultimately, she seizes an opportunity to break free, finding solace and a new sense of home in a nearby cemetery, where her otherworldly journey takes on a poignant conclusion.
