One scorching Colorado summer day, Jonathan and Felix Forrester - twentysomething brothers from an affluent Denver family - invite a young woman up to their luxury apartment as a sort of prank. But the three connect quickly - and precariously - through their shared desire to explore the limits of their lust, power, and pleasure. As the external world burns with war, disease, and natural disasters, their refuge in the cool, posh apartment unspools into something more insidious. As Alais Escobar Henri ruthlessly interrogates the intersections of vulnerability and privilege, of danger and desire, the voluptuaires' dreamlike chrysalis soon becomes a hatching ground for buried traumas to re-materialize.
