Jay learns that she has contracted a sexually transmitted demon that shapeshifts and follows her at a walking pace wherever she goes. The thing will kill her unless she can pass it to the next person. Numerous entries in the horror genre have used vampires or zombies as a metaphor for AIDS, and any kind of sexual relations traditionally lead to an early grave. David Robert Mitchell's clever and creepy movie turns these expectations on their head. Although sex is the cause and cure for the predicament, promiscuity is the only way out.
