## Plot

In Paris, Van’s friend Candice and her friends Shanice and Xosha are chatting at a coffee shop. Candice then discovers Van nearby and greets her, discovering that she is now using a French accent. She takes them to her apartment, where Candice is surprised to see that she is a model in magazines and has a partner named Marcel.

Van then takes them to an apartment for her friend, actor Alexander Skarsgård, implying that they have a sexual relationship. As Skarsgård dances and starts undressing, Van plants some drugs on his bed and they leave. She then tells the receptionist that Skarsgård may be dying from the drugs, claiming it's part of a game with him. They then go to a housing project, where Van plans to pick up a package but discovers that it is missing, deducing that a person named Emilio was responsible. They also find their motorcycles' tires have been stabbed with a knife just as a gang shows up, referring to Van as "Tarrare". Van states that Tarrare is "the man who ate the baby.” However, the gang leaves when they see a nearby fight, allowing the girls to flee.

They then go to an art gallery, where Van finds and confronts Emilio. Emilio tries to explain the missing package but Van takes out a stale baguette and brutally attacks Emilio. A bloodied Emilio then gives Van the missing package and they leave the gallery. They then arrive at a party, where Candice expresses her discomfort to Shanice and Xosha, but they actually like and are intrigued by Van. Skarsgård appears and confronts Van, as the incident caused serious repercussions to his career. Van responds by spitting on him, and Skarsgård is then seen masturbating in the bathroom.

Van then starts working in the kitchen with Marcel, who also works as a chef there. Candice confronts Van about her new life but Van brushes her off. Candice also realizes that Van picked up human hands as the packages, which Marcel then proceeds to cook for the guests as a meal named "Les mains", with the guests eating while wearing a large napkin over their heads.

Candice then asks Van about her old life and her plans, with Van intending to marry Marcel and get French citizenship. But when Candice asks about Lottie, Van is taken aback. Van then has a nervous breakdown and starts trashing the kitchen, scaring Marcel away. Her screams are heard by Shanice and Xosha, who remove their napkins and are disgusted to find that they are eating hands and leave just as Skarsgård arrives excitedly to eat. Near the Seine, Van talks with Candice, expressing how she felt lost for a while and even deems herself a bad mother to Lottie. Candice consoles her, even though Van also mocks her for urinating on a man before and they laugh. Shanice visits a man for an assignment - to urinate on him.

In a post-credits scene, Earn receives a duffel bag, despite being certain that he didn't miss anything. He opens the bag and finds drug pills, a Deftones shirt, and a white family portrait. Earn leaves the room while the camera zooms in on the portrait, revealing the white man.
