Marie, a housebound rape victim, is further terrified by news of a serial killer who preys on young women. Yet she thinks nothing of renting a room to a cook named Tom, who often drags heavy garbage bags into the house and locks the kitchen door while he prepares exotic meat dishes. While his behaviour exacerbates Marie's paranoia, it doesn't slow the growing sexual tension between them -- until her flirtatious sister, Mignon, pays a visit. Now Marie can only wonder which sister will become Tom's new love interest... and which might be his next meal.
