After arriving in Wolfsberg during Moonlight Mania, they meet the strange and steely Madame Varcolac (Shields), who discourages David from selling the property, but perky real estate agent Paulina Von Eckberg (Brooke D’Orsay, Royal Pains) has other plans in mind. The Sands’ visit goes awry when a freak lab accident gradually transforms Jordan into a werewolf. Jordan’s dark, hairy side is dangerous to others, and the change confuses her new suitor, Goran (Steven Grayhm), the town’s young, attractive butcher.
