When Justine, a naive vegetarian high school graduate, arrives at college as a freshman, it's safe to say she is overwhelmed by what awaits her. Fitting in hasn't always come naturally, and never has it been so important, but the social rituals this particular veterinary school have in mind are disturbing to say the least. There's a boy in her class who she's interested in, and whose interest she appears to gain, but when she's round at his dorm, they are stormed by students in balaclavas and blood stained white coats. They are rounding up freshmen like animals into a sickening hazing ritual where they are forced to swallow unidentifiable raw meat from the labs. After that, Justine finds herself with an almost painful craving for a meat, and none of her fellow students are safe from her unquenchable hunger
