Sammy Smalls (Cristin Milioti), a twenty-something tomboy, wants to find love that will stick, and a job that doesn't make her queasy with guilt (she hunts down shoplifters at the local grocery stoe and delivers them to her abusive boss). Most of all, she wants to be better in bed -- but how does a quirky girl with limited experience pursue a more worldly existence? The indie romantic comedy-drama Year of the Carnivore tracks her charmingly laviscuous journey towards self-discovery and sexual self-confidence.
