Story
Two inseparable sisters are a kind of outcasts in their small provincial town: they wear black clothes, do not accept any generally accepted rules and try to stay away from other people. In addition, the aesthetics of death turns out to be close to the two sisters, even as their school project, they offered a set of photographs in which they depicted various versions of their death. However, the situation is further complicated by the fact that both sisters vowed to commit suicide after reaching the age of majority. However, soon the life of the sisters begins to change dramatically.
It all starts with the fact that both of them wanted to take revenge on one of their classmates by kidnapping her dog and staging her murder as a kind of monster monster. Soon, the monster really makes an attack, but not as planned by the sisters, but in reality, injuring Ginger and falling under the wheels of the drug dealer Sam. A little later it turns out that the monster was a werewolf, after which the Ginger bitten by it begins to change before our eyes: it grows older, its behavior, habits and worldview change, it begins to wear defiantly-sexy clothes and meet young people.
But at the same time, it undergoes metamorphoses of a different kind of transformation: it becomes aggressive and dangerous, becoming closer to the essence of a werewolf. Meanwhile, Bridget is trying to make a choice: whether to be near her constantly changing sister and to remain faithful to her, or to abandon her in favor of her safety.
