Rare
When Honey Miller, a vibrant entomologist with a love for insects and Broadway, meets the enigmatic Romain Castle at an exclusive cannibal function for the elite, their mutual appetite for something darker ignites a passionate affair. Honey, with her anxiety and traumatic childhood bubbling beneath the surface, is drawn to Romain, a private plastic surgeon with a cold emotional state, a keen attention to detail, and an unyielding need for structure. Romain, restless with the pressures to maintain a perfect lifestyle, including a wife and children, finds solace in Honey's dark allure. As their bond deepens over a series of intimate dinners, they reveal their true natures to each other, driven by a shared need to consume. Through their intertwined stories, we learn about their troubled pasts and how they led both Honey and Romain to the dark path of cannibalism. Their relationship also involves a macabre business venture: selling human bodies for wealthy individuals to consume. In Rare, their twisted love story unfolds as they confront their demons and past traumas. Together, they must navigate the perilous path between desire and destruction, wrestling with their instincts to uncover if their hunger for love and understanding can triumph over their most primal appetites. Rare is a dark, tantalizing tale of forbidden romance and the human hunger for connection, even in the face of the most unspeakable desires.
