Brigitte has escaped the confines of Bailey Downs but she's not alone. Another werewolf is tailing her closely and her sister's specter haunts her. An overdose of Monkshood - the poison that is keeping her transformation at bay - leads to her being incarcerated in a rehabilitation clinic for drug addicts where her only friend is an eccentric young girl by the name of Ghost.

Part of

Ginger Snaps Collection

Cult Canadian horror trilogy. The beginning of a journey in terror that flows through the ages. A hunger that began on the frontier in the 19th century, where Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald search for sanctuary from the shocking evil at the gate and experience the first bite. Legend becomes reality. The bloody trail that will be picked up years later in quiet suburbia, when the beast rediscovers Ginger's scent and satisfies his thirst for blood. Once unleashed, the beast stalks the last of his prey until the final nightmare of a showdown in this chronicle of a curse that no silver bullet can kill.
