The story follows Dax Lycander (Chance the Rapper), a pizza delivery guy who finds himself at the center of a series of bizarre murders that target other pizza delivery drivers.

The plot of Slice is a fusion of genres, combining elements of horror, comedy, and suspense. The movie starts with a murder that sets the tone for the rest of the story.

The central mystery of the movie is the serial killings of pizza delivery guys. The audience is left to puzzle over the clues alongside Dax. The female lead, played by Zazie Beetz, is also searching for answers to her own questions, and Suki Waterhouse (Jenny) brings a lot of humor to the film as a ghostly waitress with a sharp tongue.
