Plot
Several weeks after the events of the first film, Brigitte Fitzgerald uses monkshood extract to fight the effects of lycanthropy that transformed her sister Ginger into a werewolf. Brigitte shaves off excess hair, cuts her arm with a scalpel, and documents her injections and increasingly rapid healing rate.
Ginger appears as an apparition and warns her that monkshood only slows her transformation progression and is not a cure. Regardless, Brigitte has become addicted to monkshood. While dosing for a second time in a motel, Brigitte detects the nearby presence of a male werewolf that has been relentlessly stalking her with the intention to mate, as it senses that she is in heat. As she quickly packs up and opens the door, she is found by Jeremy, a flirtatious librarian who has brought to her several books she attempted to check out earlier. He sees that Brigitte has toxic shock syndrome, and Jeremy attempts to bring her to a hospital; however, the male werewolf mauls him to death.
