Synopsis[]

A wedding...
Marcia is a gold-digger who marries an elderly man named David Higgins. Shortly after the wedding however, David dies, but the family fortune goes to his sister, Belinda. Marcia however, is now the stepmother of David's granddaughter, Ruby. Marcia is selfish and cruel, and has no interest in being a mother to a girl who is not even her own.
Marcia meets with her boyfriend Benny at a diner where they are served by a woman named Carla. Marcia was under the impression that Benny had a vast, sprawling business, but when she learns that he simply owns a Christmas tree farm, she breaks up with him. Carla adds her own opinion by telling Benny that he is better off.
At home the following morning, Marcia receives a call from the Higgins estate, and learns that Belinda is terminally ill and wishes to see her granddaughter one more time before she dies. Marcia is overjoyed, as she is the legal guardian of Ruby, who stands to inherit all of the Higgins family wealth.

...then a funeral.
Late the following evening, Marcia is driving across Coyote Canyon with Ruby on their way to the Higgins' Lakeview estate. She sees an animal run across their path and drives off the side of the road to avoid it. Getting out of the car, Marcia realizes that it is not a coyote she nearly hit, but actually a werewolf. The creature attacks and begins ripping at the roof of the car. Marcia temporarily repels it with her taser. She contacts Benny to come out and help her.
Benny arrives in his truck, but there is no sign of the werewolf. He offers to help Marcia and Ruby out, but then the creature attacks and kills him. Marcia grabs a knife from Benny's truck, which just happens to be made of silver, and stabs the werewolf. The creature reverts to human form, revealing it to be Carla - the waitress from the diner.
Marcia eventually brings Ruby to visit her grandmother, Belinda. The dying elderly woman is overjoyed at the sight and embraces the little girl. Just then, Ruby turns towards Marcia and transforms into a werewolf. She leaps upon her and rips her throat out.
