Summary:
For Lulu and her friends, the world is at their feet. Young, beautiful and extremely rich, they can get anything, do anything. Life is one big party, but something gnaws at them… In search of excitement and a challenge, the five friends form the “Circle”. Taking turns, each of them designs a unique, extravagant experience for the others. When Lulu’s best friend Anastasia takes them to the jungle for a shamanistic ritual, things go wrong. They wake up with long pointed fangs. They flee back to the city in a total panic. But it is not before long that they start to see this metamorphosis as an opportunity. After all, they were always different from the rest of the world. Avoiding the sun, they each follow their own fascinations and desires in the metropolis’ nightlife. They soon lose control of things. Nothing is what it seems anymore. They seem doomed…
