It follows the members of a female-fronted death metal group who are stalked by a masked killer while vacationing at a mountain cabin.

Their manager, Arty, is determined to drive the group in a mainstream direction, but they resist his attempts, as they are self-aware of their lack of musical talent; aside from the Juilliard-trained Mark, the girls have relied on on-stage shock value, violent spectacles, and morbid lyrics to draw in their fanbase.

Amy suspects that Susie is pulling a prank, as she has regularly performed fake deaths during the band's live concerts.

Gina presumes she is finally safe, before Mike reveals he is in fact the murderer, driven by his extreme religious views and his belief that the band are promoting evil.

Mike binds and gags Gina in the barn, which is now full of all his victims' corpses, but inadvertently trips Amy's potassium nitrate bomb, killing himself.

Disgusted by the group and believing they have indulged in a sadistic game that resulted in them killing each other, the nurse chooses to depart with Brooke, leaving Gina in the barn to die.
