A little girl must be made to realize that she is not actually a little girl.  Her parents must choose to save either their marriage or their family.  A scientist must make an unthinkable sacrifice in order to cause an impossible transformation.  Based on true events, CryHurtFood is a new monster story about a chimpanzee who believes that she is a person, and what happens when the people who raised her to think so decide that she is not.
