Indie singer-songwriter Grey Kessler travels with her girlfriend Charlie to the home of Vaughn Daniels, a gifted music producer who offers to help produce an album that will follow up the success of her first. She ignores the concern which Charlie has about this as Vaughn was tried though acquitted of murdering his wife.

Under Vaughn's dark influence, Grey increasingly changes in disturbing ways, ignoring Charlie's concerns but improving her music skills. Vaughn however is far more of a danger than either realizes however, with a personal connection to Grey and her long-standing hallucinations slowly revealed which puts both women in peril.

!Examples:
* {{Hallucinations}}: Grey has has disturbing hallucinations for years of turning into an animal then ravenously eating prey. She takes medication for it, but stops as she dislikes the side effects. [[spoiler:They stem from her unknowingly being a werewolf.]]
* HorrorHunger: Grey, a vegan, experiences the unsettling, intense desire for meat while at Vaughn's house. It echoes her hallucinations of being an animal devouring prey. [[spoiler:This turns out to be because she's a werewolf.]]
* LipstickLesbian: Grey and Charlie both favor overall feminine styles, although it isn't that intense. They largely just come off as average, putting them in chapstick territory.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: They can change at will after coming to grips with their nature it seems, and there's no sign they're affected by the moon's phases. It's a hereditary condition, passed by parent to child. They can also be killed with ordinary weapons, rather than things such as silver being required.
