Djuna, a vampire girl (Joséphine de La Baume), lives at a huge summer house in Connecticut.

The other sister, Mimi (Roxane Mesquida), arrives to the house, invited by the real house's owner, theatre actress Xenia (Anna Mouglalis), and generates chaos: to convince the owner she wants to stay in Connecticut, she offers her a virgin, Anne (Riley Keough), who is a fan of Xenia in the theatre.
