Spoilers ahead

In the quiet woods of rural England, a carnivorous shape‑shifting alien named Kator lands as the vanguard of an invasion, with a chilling mission: determine whether humans could serve as a future food source for his species. He quickly adopts the appearance of Anders [Barry Stokes], and, pretending to be injured, he is taken in by a secluded lesbian couple living in a manor house. The two women, Jessica [Glory Annen] and Jo [Sally Faulkner], are the sole inhabitants of the estate, a place Jessica owns having inherited it from her Canadian parents. Jo, bold and suspicious of men, dominates the dynamic, while Jessica, though restless and hungry for something new, welcomes the stranger’s arrival.
