What is The Beauty about?
In The Beauty, the glamorous world of high fashion takes a deadly turn when international supermodels begin dying in mysterious and gruesome ways. FBI agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) are sent to Paris to investigate, only to uncover a terrifying secret.
At the centre of it all is a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection — at an unimaginable cost. The agents’ search leads them to The Corporation, run by shadowy tech billionaire Ashton Kutcher, who has engineered a so-called miracle drug known as “The Beauty”.
As bodies pile up and the epidemic spreads from Paris to Venice, Rome and New York, the race begins to stop a threat that could permanently alter humanity, all while asking the most dangerous question of all: what would you sacrifice for perfection?
