As a content moderator, Annabel patrols the internet for evil. So must contend with a steady stream of unrelenting bile, fed directly into her eyeballs. Luckily, she bonds with her melancholic colleague, AJ, over an illicit rooftop vape session. But after watching a particularly gruesome acid attack film, she spots AJ across the room and, before she has a moment to think, they are having sex in the wellness room. So they quickly fall into a habit - and gradually become addicted to the pattern of trauma followed by the ecstatic relief of sex.
