The story

Isolated on an island mansion during the First World War and the 1918 influenza epidemic, a rich, famous, and overly entitled Progressive journalist from America's White Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite (Billy Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) hire a mysterious and Southern-accented grifter (Peter Sarsgaard) as the household's cook. The cook first challenges his orders to prepare only vegetarian meals for his employers and fellow servants. When the epidemic also descends on the island and their meatless food supplies become hard to replace, the wily cook rouses the servants to insurrection and takes over the mansion.
