Four childhood friends, eager for a taste of city life, swap rural Brazil for an apartment in Copacabana, Rio. But they can have no idea of the gory fate that awaits them there…
Dante, Leitão, Miguel and Hugo are your average students trying to make ends meet with part-time jobs, excited about the bright future at their fingertips.
So when their rent skyrockets, they need a good idea to make some money however they can. That’s how one day, they end up accidentally starting an illegal business serving secret dinners, arranged through the internet, to customers hungry for culinary experiences like no other.
But what starts as a joke quickly spirals out of their control. As the four friends earn more and more money, the stakes get higher, and the consequences deadlier, revealing the ugly side in all of them and threatening not only their friendship, but their lives.
