Serial murderer Eddie Quist was shot and supposedly killed in a Los Angeles porno theater, and event that leaves news anchor Karen White, who was in cahoots with the police to capture Quist, emotionally scarred and unable to remember most of the incident. Karen is sent by her therapist to "The Colony," a secluded country resort filled with strange characters all looking to heal from some sort of personal trauma. Karen's friend Terri connects the Colony to Eddie through a series of sketches found in the slain killer's apartment - and is soon killed by the resurrected Quist himself when she goes to the Colony to investigate. Eddie then confronts Karen, revealing his true nature - he, and the rest of the "patients" at the Colony, are werewolves! Eddie then transforms in front of the terrified Karen but soon finds himself on the wrong end of a silver bullet.
