After his wife leaves him for another man, David is escorted to a hotel filled with single people where everyone is required to find a lover within 45 days, the failure of which has serious consequences. That is, all single residents will be transformed into an animal of their choice. As David proceeds with his journey to find a partner, he comes across the hotel’s many bizarre rules that include hunting and killing the outcasts (in this case, single people or the ‘loners’) as well as the strict requirement for the individuals to be completely incompatible with each other in every aspect.
