Spoilers ahead
Justine, a lifelong vegetarian, begins her first semester at veterinary school, the same place where her older sister Alexia studied and where their parents once met. On her very first night, she meets her gay roommate Adrien, and they are swept into a week-long hazing ritual that welcomes the new students. The evening culminates at a party where Alexia proudly shows Justine old class photos of students bathed in blood, including one with their parents. The next morning, the entire new class is splattered with blood and forced to eat raw rabbit kidneys. Justine refuses because of her vegetarian beliefs, but Alexia pressures her to eat one anyway, setting a tone of coercion that will echo through the days that follow.
