Two friends become increasingly consumed by social media feeds filled with stories and images of gun violence. As they scroll endlessly, the line between online spectacle and real life begins to blur. Disturbed by the macabre nature of the world they witness through their screens, they develop an unsettling fascination that pushes them toward a dangerous desire.

Ava, an award-winning chef at a big-city restaurant, has lost her spark. Her boss sends her out to find herself to save her menu and her job. She returns home and finds little to inspire her, but when she reunites with her childhood friend Logan, Ava has to get her head out of the clouds and her foot out of her mouth to rediscover her passion for food.
