Het verhaal speelt zich af in een dystopische toekomst waar vrijgezellen gearresteerd worden en overgebracht worden naar een griezelig hotel. Daar worden ze verplicht om binnen de 45 dagen een passende partner te vinden. Als ze hier niet in slagen worden ze veranderd in een dier en vrijgelaten in het bos.
Nee, helaas is The Lobster nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
