The official summary for Night slut reads like this:

“Thrown into the domestic routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, a woman slowly embraces the ferocious power deeply rooted in motherhood as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turned into a dog.”
