A girl is lectured by her mother as her mother makes a complicated cocktail called “The Corpse Reviver.” The girl is told, “The thing that sends you away, brings you back.” Her mother brings a new person into their home every week, where she drugs them with the cocktails and then cues the little girl to enter the room. The little girl proceeds to eat the people. After her mother dies, the girl — now a young woman — uses her looks to attract naive individuals so that she can bring them home and eat them. She emulates the tactics of her mother, although she believes that she cannot fully behave like a real human being. One night, she is on a date with a woman, Alma, who insists that they return to Alma’s place instead of the young woman’s. She goes hesitantly, but seems to relax after gentle touches from Alma. Alma makes her a drink once they are inside her home, and the young woman notes to herself that she had planned to do the same thing to Alma.  The young woman wakes up later, having been drugged, and Alma tells the woman that her brother went missing after going on a date with her. Alma threatens to kill the young woman, but first asks for the body of her dead brother back. The young woman concedes that she ate every part of him. Alma debates what to do with the her, and the woman recites to her variations of the things her mother used to say to her, all of which follow the sentiment, “What sends you away will always bring you back.”  Alma leaves the young woman alive near a dumpster and expresses that there are always other options.
