After a fight with her boyfriend, Ellie relapses by doing the unthinkable: she eats him. Wracked with guilt, she joins "I Eat Boys," a church-basement support group for women trying to resist their hunger for men. As Ellie bonds with fellow survivors of violence and betrayal, the group's 12-step approach to recovery begins to fracture, forcing her to question what healing truly requires.
Blending horror, absurdism, and sharp satire, I Eat Boys examines female rage, trauma, and whether love and forgiveness can ever satisfy an appetite born from violence.
