He’s tried every diet under the sun but still he remains stuck – in his dead-end job, in love and in his body. But then he discovers a brand-new, untested weight loss product called Obexity. Desperate for a change, Emmett signs up to the clinical trials and soon he’s shedding pounds at superhuman speed. With the weight loss comes a new lease on life. He gets promoted. He finds the perfect boyfriend. And people finally treat him like he’s human. But he’s still hungry for more. And the monster lurking inside of him is desperate to come out.
