Spoilers ahead
In a dark and unsettling morgue, BJ finds himself in a disturbing situation when he becomes intimate with a corpse marked by a bio-hazard symbol on its toe tag. Following this bizarre incident, he mindlessly cleans himself while clutching a barren test tube. Amidst the chaos, Samantha is trying desperately to move on from her breakup with her girlfriend, Nikki, at a lively house party. The enthusiastic host, Alice, provides her with strong cocktails, and Zain offers her illicit substances to dull the pain. As the night descends into a haze of intoxication, BJ approaches Samantha with another drink. Despite her insistence on being a lesbian, she succumbs to her inebriation and BJ takes advantage of her vulnerability.
