SYNOPSIS

Fifteen-year-old  Brigitte  Fitzgerald  (Emily  Perkins)  and  her nearly-sixteen-year-old sister Ginger  (Katharine   Isabelle)   are   both   best friends  and outcasts. Obsessed with dying and bound by a childhood pact to   stay   together   forever,   they   loathe   their   mind-numbing existence in the suburbs of Bailey Downs. One night the two girls are heading  through  the  woods  when  Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature.

Ginger's horrible wounds miraculously heal over, but something is  not quite right about her. Ginger is irritable and in denial. But to Brigitte, it is  obvious  that  a  terrifying  force has taken hold of her sister. She's convinced that the insatiable craving  her  sister  is  experiencing  can mean only one thing: Ginger is becoming something unspeakably evil and monstrous.
