Working at a processing plant, Marcos deals in human meat—“special meat”—a chilling new normal. It’s the only way to survive after a virus made all animal meat deadly.
His personal life is crumbling. His wife has left him, his father’s dementia worsens daily, and Marcos does his best to avoid confronting the horrors of his work. It’s just numbers and shipments—until it isn’t.

As Marcos grapples with the cost of survival, he must face a harrowing question: Can anything human be saved in this new world—or is it already too late?
