The screenplay was written by Art Edler Brown and Douglas Sloan, and the film follows Jordan Sands, an awkward 17-year-old girl who, along with her family, inherits a castle in Romania.

Jordan Sands (Victoria Justice) is an awkward and nerdy 17-year-old girl with a bad case of allergies who became the woman of the house after the recent death of her mother.

Her father, David (Matt Winston), struggles to make ends meet, while her 14-year-old brother Hunter (Chase Ellison) drives the family crazy with gory pranks as he loves monsters.

After arriving in Wolfsberg, they meet the strange and steely castle housekeeper, Madame Varcolac (Brooke Shields), whose name, when pronounced, causes a wolf to howl in the distance.

Hunter learns about the "Wolfsberg Beast," a monster that protects both the castle and the town, and Jordan falls in love with the local butcher, Goran.

He dates with the bubbly real estate agent Paulina von Eckberg, who handles the selling and only appears at night.

As Varcolac quickly gathers the ingredients for the treatment, Paulina captures the siblings, revealing herself as a Vampire and the one who killed Dragomir.
