The story

Anna Feng was born with a dual personality: by day a gentle, good girl, but after three drinks she becomes a ruthless, bloodthirsty monster. At seven, after sneaking wine at her aunt's wedding, she woke to blood on her hands and a yard full of slaughtered animals. Her terrified parents made her swear never to touch alcohol again.

Now, at her fiancé Ethan's birthday party, his childhood sweetheart Felicity insists she drink.

Trapped in a locked room, Anna feels the monster inside her stirring.
