Ryan, a talented but down-on-his-luck chef, flees from his gambling problems to an unnamed Latin American country to meet with his friend Jack, whom he has not seen for several years and who now cooks for a shady entertainment company specialising in illegal dinner events with human flesh for high-end clientele. When Jack hangs himself from work pressure and remorse, Ryan sees his suicide as an opportunity to escape from his own financial difficulties. He assumes Jack's identity to cook an important meal for the clients of the company, after the company's killer "sources" a male local for Ryan to use as "meat produce". By chance the murdered man's uncle turns out to be a police detective, and when the detective comes with inquiries to the company's villa, he ends up sitting down to the dinner made from his nephew's flesh. Faced with disclosure from the company that there is no way for him to leave employment without becoming an "ingredient" in the company's next dinner event, Ryan confesses everything to the detective. The detective is killed at the end of the meal, with his flesh saved for the next event and with a falsified email purporting to explain his nephew's disappearance sent in his name to his sister.
