Synopsis
Kim brushes aside red flags when gym-bunny Freddy, her old crush, follows her home from the store. Freddy is blown away by Kim's changed appearance; he can't stop commenting on how amazing she looks now that she's lost so much weight, and complimenting the presumed work ethic the weight loss must have taken. So he's a little thrown off and betrayed to find out Kim's new body is NOT the result of hard work, but instead the result of a new injectable weight loss drug. Now it's his turn to dismiss the red flags. Before long, they're heading upstairs together. But late in the night, the drugs reveal an unpleasant, deadly side-effect, and Kim wonders if the cost of beauty is really worth it.
