A famine has devastated a small village, leading the adult males to assemble in a council to discuss what should be done to save the population. The grim decision is to enact cannibalism, selecting a victim who wears a cow's head and escapes on all fours while the remaining inhabitants hunt them down. Alex refuses to engage in cannibalism, and is chosen as the next victim by the village council. With one week until the hunt, he turns to his friends Ally and Zack for help. They have seven days to stop the acts of cannibalism and save Alex from becoming their next meal.
