In the near future a brain deteriorating disease known as the Hebedus virus has swept across the nation, rendering vast swathes of the population into an incurable vegetative state. In order to combat the growing food shortages it has become the norm to slaughter the infected and sell their meat to be consumed under the name 'brawn'.
When Heather, a casual consumer of brawn, discovers that her father has contracted the disease she must take him for processing but soon discovers that letting go isn't as easy as she first thought.
