On the day of her prenatal check-up, Greta—a woman of cockroach-like resilience—catches her husband, Gregor, in an act of infidelity. Instead of making a scene or filing for divorce, she turns to her grandmother's heirloom cookbook. Over the course of seven days, she “cooks” Gregor, stripping away his respectable facade until nothing remains but an empty shell, left to wither in a corner of the basement. Detective Walsh, investigating the case, discovers that there is far more to the story than meets the eye. In the end, Greta's revenge is complete, and she gives birth to a child.
