When first-year medical student Hana becomes fixated on weight loss after reuniting with a dramatically transformed friend, she’s drawn into a disturbing world of body image obsession. Encouraged by her crush, fitness influencer Alanya, to join an intense body transformation program. Hana takes the diet pills her old friend gave her – and they really start to work straight away, but she’s unable to afford the high cost, so she tests the contents of the pills —only to discover they contain human ashes. Desperate for more, she secretly harvests bones from a cadaver in her anatomy class. As Hana begins shedding weight, she is haunted by the ghost of the person she’s consuming. At first a spectral curiosity, then a terrifying, growing presence with a ravenous hunger that begins to consume her life. With her grip on reality slipping and the ghost gaining power, Hana must find a way to break free before she loses control entirely.
