Jordan Sands (Victoria Justice) is an awkward and nerdy 17-year-old girl with a bad case of allergies, whom just became the woman of the house after the recent death of her mother. Her father David (Matt Winston) is struggling to make ends meet, while her 14-year-old brother Hunter (Chase Ellison) drives the family crazy with gory pranks. They then inherit their deceased mother's Great-Uncle Dragomir's castle in Wolfsberg, Romania after getting a package in the mail. After arriving in Wolfsberg they meet the strange and steely housekeeper of the castle, Madame Varcolac (Brooke Shields).
Varcolac discourages David from selling the property, but real estate agent Paulina Von Eckberg (Brooke D'Orsay) begins dating David to win him over. One day while snooping around Dragomir's lab, Jordan winds up stepping on a vial of LB-217 with her foot. Hunter manages to pull the,pieces out, but Jordan's behavior changes soon after, such as her allergies disappearing, seeing without glasses, and smelling things very far away. Hunter's friends explain that Jordan's behaviors are akin to those of a werewolf's, and that she is one either because of a bloodline curse, a bite from an infected person, or from getting blood of a werewolf. In Jordan's case, it was revealed to have been LB-217, which is short for "Lycanthrope Blood".
