The movie is a dark comedy that tells the story of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer who struggles with his inclinations and often gets into trouble. The film's concept was inspired by the real-life events surrounding the serial killer, including a victim who escaped only to be returned to Dahmer by the police, and the police's explanation for the smell of rotting flesh being due to a broken refrigerator. The director consulted with his gay fans to ensure that the dark humor in the movie was not offensive, and one fan shared a personal experience of dating a man who was later arrested for being a serial killer. The movie suggests that there may be prejudice against gays in law enforcement, which can lead to crimes not being properly investigated. Despite its ridiculous premise, the film has some sobering messages.
