The boys aren’t doing so hot. In an obscure corner of the internet, they form an incel community on the bedrock of their shared and infinite miseries, offering each other proof that the game is rigged against men; it was over before it began, they will never be loved, better just to lay down and rot. When an unexpected relationship begins to unravel their dismal fraternity, the consequences of their fatalism are revealed — who might get out, and who might not?
