She is afflicted with The Ick, a monstrous entity dwelling inside her, who violently emerges whenever Orla feels too stressed, angry or afraid. She is unable to rid herself of this curse, and The Ick needs to feed, and so Orla has decided to use her powers to help other women by removing the worst men from the dating pool. But when she finally meets a guy she actually likes, and finally has a chance at a love story of her own, will she be able to keep her inner monster under control?

What happens when monsters aren't exactly as they seem? What happens when our team encounters the monster that other monsters fear?Sometimes no one gets out alive...Knock, knock. What's there? Open the door if you dare...
