His boss, a wealthy billionaire and his family seize upon the moment, and their scientists discover that dead creatures’ flesh, blood, and horn are endowed with miraculous curative properties from which they could quickly make another fortune.
Karma soon comes for these unethical people who discover deadly consequences from their actions. The project marks the directorial debut of Alex Scharfman who also wrote the script.
