    • Synopsis
    • Jesse, a 17-year-old beauty from Death Valley, moved to Los Angeles to pursue a modeling career that, so far, has been disenchanting at best. Things seem to turn around for her when she is befriended by RUBY, a 22-year-old make-up artist, and GIGI and SARAH, both beautiful but “aging” models. The three women have one thing in common: a fixation for youth and beauty – Danny’s beauty in particular. As Jesse’s career starts to gain early momentum, unusual events keep her feeling uneasy and it becomes clear that Danny's relationship with the women is not what she thought it was. Pretending to protect her from a home intruder, Ruby puts Jesse in an impossible situation. Cornered, Jesse meets her demise at the mouths of the very women who befriended her. Gigi, Sarah, and Ruby's fixation with the belief that consuming a young and beautiful virgin will restore their own vitality now leaves them in a precarious position when the result is very different from the expectation. Driven to insanity, each woman must come to terms with what they have done… and it doesn't end well for any of them.
