They’re casually employed as a guinea pig for people learning the art of auric massage. Lonely, starved and far from home (in every sense), Georgie seeks companionship in increasingly unusual places: a serial killer possum that lives outside their window, nude pack animals reflected in their mirror, and the warm embrace of their meticulously cultivated gut microbiome. That is, until their friend Adam decides to set them up with his lover Freya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Georgie and Freya grow more intimate, Adam drifts further from reach, being drawn, as he is, into the orbit of his charismatic housemate Nate (an older man with a proud proclivity for exotic meats).
