The film is set in the small rural town of Tarker’s Mills, Maine, and opens with the death of a railroad worker, Arnie Westrum (Gammon). Although he was murdered by a werewolf, the county coroner believes that Arnie passed out on the railroad tracks and was run over by a train.

Later on, a local woman, Stella Randolph (Wendy Walker), is slaughtered in her bedroom. This murder goes unsolved and the townsfolk become worried.

Jane Costlaw (Follows), the narrator of the film, is the oldest sister in a family of four. Her narration centers on her relationship with her younger, paraplegic brother Marty (Haim). The story develops around the rocky relationship between the “handicapped” little brother and the over-burdened older sister; a relationship that is strained from the start. The next victim, Milt Sturmfuller (James A. Baffico), is a drunken “redneck”, whose daughter is Marty’s girlfriend, who hears someone destroying his flower pots in a shed not far from his house. Believing it is a gang of mischievous teenagers, Sturmfuller plans to scare them off with a shotgun. Instead, he encounters the werewolf and is killed, which sends his family away.

It isn’t until the brutal slaying of a teenager, Brady Kincaid (Joe Wright), that the townsfolk are on the verge of abandoning local authority and seeking their own kind of “private justice.” In the middle of the melee is a Christian Church pastor, Lester Lowe (McGill), who initially parades as a concerned member of the community, attempting to prevent the townsfolk from causing further bloodshed.
