Boy Eats Girl Plot Summary

What happens in Boy Eats Girl from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Grace discovers a hidden crypt in the church and, amid the silence of the crypt, comes across a mysterious voodoo book. She is quickly sent away by Father Cornelius, but the encounter seeds a dangerous turn for the town. At the local high school, Nathan navigates the usual teenage currents with his friends, including Henry and Diggs. Nathan secretly admires his long-time friend Jessica, yet his fear of rejection keeps him from asking her out. The social mix at school is crowded with the popular trio of girls—Cheryl, Charlotte, and Glenda—and Cheryl, in particular, makes a beeline for Nathan, even as her boyfriend Samson looms nearby with a not-so-subtle air of possessiveness and a tense circle of friends including Kenneth.
