In Hate Fuck, sex is everywhere. House mate’s moans through the wall, a rape trial at work, sleeping with your old college boyfriend…
Abigail’s life is not where she wants it to be, an aspiring actress, living with three housemates and working as a receptionist in a law firm. Her life could not be any more different to Ian’s, her ex boyfriend, who’s life is seemingly perfect, nice apartment, good job, engaged. Abigail and Ian’s relationship is complicated. When they go for dinner one night, things don’t go well.
Content Warning: Themes of sexual assault
