A rash of dog killings strikes the quiet suburb of Bailey Downs, Ontario. Teenage sisters Brigitte and Ginger Fitzgerald harbor a fascination with death and formed a pact as children to move out of the suburb or die together by the age of 16. One night, while on their way to kidnap a dog owned by school bully Trina Sinclair, Ginger begins her first period. The scent of blood attracts by the creature responsible for the maulings, which bites Ginger. As the girls flee, the creature is run over by a van belonging to local drug dealer Sam Miller. Noticing that her wound has already healed, Ginger opts not to visit a hospital.
Following the attack, Ginger undergoes transformations that concern Brigitte - she begins behaving aggressively, sprouts a tail, and menstruates heavily, and hair grows from her scars. Ignoring Brigitte's warnings, Ginger has unprotected sex with classmate Jason McCardy. Later, she furiously beats Trina in public and kills a neighbor's dog. Brigitte seeks out Sam to obtain information on what his van struck, and they agree that Ginger was attacked by a werewolf and is transforming into one. After a silver navel piercing proves ineffective as a remedy, Sam suggests infusing an extract of monkshood, a perennial plant often referred to in lycanthrope folklore.
Trina appears at the Fitzgerald home and accuses Ginger of kidnapping her dog. In the ensuing struggle, Trina slips and fatally strikes her head upon the kitchen counter. The sisters hide her body in a freezer. Brigitte accidentally breaks off two of Trina's fingers while removing her body to bury it, which she later misplaces. On Halloween, Brigitte brings monkshood to Sam, and he creates an extract from it. Brigitte is attacked by an infected Jason, and defends herself by using the monkshood syringe against him. His behavior suddenly changes, proving that the cure works. At school, Brigitte discovers that Ginger has killed the counselor, and witnesses her killing the janitor. Ginger discloses her intent to target Sam next at the Greenhouse Bash, a Halloween party hosted by him.
The girls' mother discovers the fingers and Trina's corpse. She drives Brigitte to the Greenhouse Bash, telling her that she will erase the evidence of Trina's death by burning their house down. Brigitte arrives to find Sam fending off a nearly-turned Ginger. Brigitte wounds Ginger's and her own palm and clasps their hands together, infecting herself with Ginger's blood. She convinces Ginger of her loyalty and willingness to help her. As the sisters leave, Brigitte decides to abandon her mother. As Ginger feels her transformation approaching, Sam knocks her unconscious with a shovel. They take Ginger back home to prepare more of the cure for her.
On the way, Ginger fully transforms into a werewolf and escapes from the van. Sam and Brigitte hide in the pantry as Sam makes the cure. When he goes to find Ginger, she mutilates him. After finding Sam, injured and bloody, Brigitte tries to save him by drinking his blood to calm Ginger, but is unable to go through with it. Ginger senses Brigitte's insincerity and kills Sam. As Ginger chases Brigitte, Brigitte returns to the room where they grew up. Brigitte defends herself while holding the syringe in one hand and a knife in the other. Ginger lunges at Brigitte and into the knife, fatally wounding herself. Brigitte lays her head upon her dying sister's chest and weeps.
