6	Maitho Rothbauer takes over his uncle's struggling deli, and worries that the shop will have to close over the lack of customers. His life changes dramatically when his old flame Caprice Dean comes back into town, needing a job and some company, along with a strange new customer, Cooper Foster, befriending Maitho and offering to help his business. Maitho's joy is shortlived, however, when he realizes that Caprice is still carrying the baggage of her clingy ex and Cooper's method of conducting business is far more gruesome than he was expecting.

11	!!This comic shows examples of the following tropes:
12	* AddledAddict: Vinny. [[spoiler:He's gotten so desperate that he even steals money from the underground cannibalistic black market that he works for. To make matters worse, he's destroyed his body with alcohol and drugs, preventing his meat from being used as "product". This means that Cooper gets to slaughter him as violently as he wants.]]
13	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Cooper is originally Turkish, but not much else is known about his exact race.
14	* ArtEvolution: The first few pages were essentially created as a joke to sum up the premise of the comic for when it eventually started. Kira got more and more into it until the joke pages wound up becoming the start of the actual comic.
15	* BigGuyLittleGuy: Maitho and Cooper.
16	* BlackComedyCannibalism: Despite being a mostly dark comic, there are several jokes about the cannibals that Maitho has to deal with, especially in chapter one.
17	* BloodyHorror: Being a webcomic about a butcher taking part in an underground cannibal market, it's bound to have a lot of gore.
18	* CannibalClan: [[spoiler:Kit and Megan]] are heavily implied to be a part of one.
19	* CastFullOfGay: Maitho, Caprice and Vinny are Bi, Joe is Gay, Mariella is a Lesbian, Scotty is Pansexual.
20	* DarkAndTroubledPast: There are a few posts on Kira's tumblr that mention Cooper's childhood. It has not been stated exactly what happened to him in his youth, but judging from what is shown, it wasn't nice.

25	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Joe, another member of the [[spoiler:human meat market]] has a daughter who he loves more than anything.
26	* EvilOldFolks: A small, frail-looking old lady approaches Maitho at the checkout counter during work. [[spoiler: She's there to buy human liver to eat, calling Maitho an idiot for even asking what her intentions were.]]
27	* Fingore: Cooper gets his fingers badly hurt when he [[spoiler:uses them to protect his throat from Montgomery's attempted strangulation with a bike chain.]]
28	* TheFaceless: Cooper's boss has not had their face, name or gender revealed yet, only being referred to as "H". Caprice's abusive ex-boyfriend Felix also never has his face shown, even when the rest of his body is shown.

32	* HorrorHunger: [[spoiler:Montgomery craves the taste of human flesh constantly.]]
33	* ImAHumanitarian: Since the comic is about a butcher being manipulated into selling human meat, this is to be expected.

39	* TheNapoleon: Cooper is a ruthless, violent murderer who stands at only 5'4.
40	* NervousWreck: Caprice is usually a laid-back, friendly person, but the simple act of receiving a phonecall or walking to work has her practically shaking with paranoia and fear after [[spoiler:what her Ex put her through.]]
41	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Maitho, usually a quiet, soft guy, [[spoiler:screams at Cooper after being threatened by Montgomery, Cooper knows that he is at the end of his tether and considers reporting it to his boss.]]
