Five graduate students sharing a house in Iowa invite guests over for dinner and engage in intellectual discussions. The gatherings take a dark turn when they host an ex-Marine who holds disturbing views. An argument escalates, leading to his accidental death. The group, realizing the potential of using their dinners to rid the world of those with dangerous ideologies, begins systematically inviting over various controversial figures under the pretense of debate. The dinners become a twisted moral experiment, with the students justifying their actions as a service to society.

As the group continues their lethal feasts, their dynamics shift and tensions rise. They grapple with the ethical implications of their actions and the toll it takes on their conscience. The facade of intellectual superiority starts to crumble as paranoia and guilt creep in. The ideological divide that initially united them threatens to tear them apart. The psychological strain complicates their relationships and moral standing, showcasing the perils of self-righteous extremism.
