Fresh

Noa, Daisy Edgar-Jones, a woman from Portland, is increasingly disillusioned with online dating and the rude men she encounters. A man calling himself Steve, Sebastian Stan, flirts with her at a supermarket, and they exchange numbers. On their first date, the two form a bond. After several dates, Steve invites Noa for a weekend getaway to a surprise destination. Against the advice of her best friend Jojo T. Gibbs, Noa agrees. Planning to travel early the following day, Noa spends the evening at Steve’s luxury home, but he drugs her cocktail and she collapses.

Noa awakens in captivity, chained to the floor. Steve explains that he is a butcher of human meat, which he both consumes and sells to wealthy gastronomic cannibals for whom he regularly lures and abducts young women. He informs Noa that he will keep her alive as long as possible in order to keep her meat fresh as he intends to surgically remove pieces of her body over time. Noa speaks to a woman named Penny, Andrea Bang, who is being held captive in an adjacent cell, who says that she has suffered multiple meat harvests and that another woman, Melissa, Alina Maris, has gone insane. Noa attempts to escape when given an opportunity to shower and Steve harvests meat from her buttocks as punishment.

Meanwhile, Mollie Jojo T. Gibbs becomes concerned about Noa’s disappearance and begins investigating with her friend Paul, Dayo Okeniyi, a bartender who served Noa and Steve on their first date. After searching online, Mollie discovers Steve is actually named Brendan and is married to a woman named Ann with whom he has children. Mollie visits Ann and informs her of Brendan’s apparent affair. Brendan arrives and denies any knowledge of Noa when questioned by Mollie. As she leaves, Mollie calls Noa’s phone, which begins ringing in Brendan’s pocket. Ann, realizing she’s been exposed, knocks Mollie unconscious. In a shower scene, Ann is shown to have a prosthetic leg.

Noa learns from Penny that she is the only prisoner who had sex with Brendan. She makes herself more alluring and pretends to be curious about the taste of human meat. Brendan invites her to share a gourmet dish of human meat with him, which Noa pretends to enjoy but secretly vomits up. Meanwhile, Brendan takes Mollie away for harvesting. Brendan invites Noa to a formal dinner, providing her a pink dress to wear. Between dishes, Brendan shows Noa a concealed case containing the belongings of two dozen victims; amongst the trophies, Noa recognizes Mollie’s phone. Following dinner and dancing, Noa persuades Brendan to have sex with her and let her perform fellatio on him; she injures him by biting his penis. Noa helps Mollie and Penny escape their cells while Brendan attends to his injury. After using the dumbwaiter to carry multiple-amputee Penny out of the basement, the three fight Brendan in the kitchen, then escape into the woods. Brendan pursues them with a handgun.

In the meantime, Paul becomes concerned when Mollie doesn’t respond to messages and follows the location of her phone to Brendan’s house. However, he questions what he is doing and drives away upon hearing gunshots.

In the woods, Noa, Mollie, and Penny attack Brendan again. Noa takes the gun and shoots him dead. Ann arrives, finds Brendan’s body, and orders a companion to put it in the walk-in freezer. Ann encounters Noa in the woods and tries to strangle her, but Noa stabs Ann in the neck with car keys. As Ann recovers and attempts to strangle Noa again, Mollie bludgeons Ann to death with a shovel. Noa and Mollie relax at last, and Noa receives a booty call text from a toxic man she dated before Brendan.

A mid-credits scene depicts five of Brendan’s clients in a white room, seated at a table with bleeding human meat at the center.
