[edit] Storyline
In the prologue, Danielle, her aunt, and brother are shopping for groceries one night after Danielle's return from a band trip. Upon wandering off by herself in the store, she realizes that she has grabbed a package of raw beef from the meat section and has begun devouring it without thinking.
An unknown time passes as the band is on the road. Danielle has a violent vision of Joey driving the van of a cliff. Dee is mean to Danielle because Danielle replaced her as lead singer. Danielle kisses Kit and bites him on the lip. Joey begins to flirt with Danielle as she decides she has to go see her psychaistrist, doctor Moore. During her session, Danielle claws the arm of the chair to ribbons. After the groups concert, Joey goes missing, and is found ripped to pieces in a park. Danielle thinks that she killed Joey because of her changes.
The next day, Danielle comes up with lyrics. The last lyric scares the group because it says, "Don't let me kill again" Danielle and Dee fight horribly. Days later, Danielle has another vision that Dee kills Kit. Soon, Dee tries to warn Danielle of something, but doesn't get to it. Billys body is discovered by Danielle, but he's not dead. Danielle soon feels lied to because he parents didn't die by car crash, but by Wolf. After a show, Dee's dead body is found by Billy as he starts to scare Danielle. One by one, the band members become werewolfs. Her aunt informs her that it was part of the plan and that she wasn't really Danielles aunt. Danielle is also betrayed by Dr. Moore who is a werewolf. She thinks Billy is trying to make her his werewolf bride, but instead, it's Kit!
He explains he killed Joey because Joey kept flirting with her and he killed Dee because Dee tried to get Danielle to quit the band. He tells her he had to get rid of her parents and her real aunt to get to her. Danielle is saved by Billy's advice: "Raise her eyes to the bad moonlight and you'll know what to do."
Danielle transforms into a werewolf and kills Kit. Since Kit was the pack leader, Margeret and Dr. Moore die along with him. The others thank Danielle for ridding them of Kit's werewolf spell. Danielle looks forward to bright sunlight.
