American student Katie Armstrong becomes fascinated with the story of the German cannibal Oliver Hartwin who made a pact with Simon Grombeck to eat his flesh. She travels to Germany to write a thesis on Hartwin and Grombeck. As Katie delves into the two men’s pasts, she uncovers how both were deeply lonely as a result of their respective childhoods. Both met on an internet bulletin board after Simon responded to Oliver’s posting, seeking someone to devour. In this, Simon saw that he could fulfil a lifelong fantasy of having his penis bitten off and his flesh devoured by another. The two finally met to put the fantasy into action.
