不知从何时起,萧索的苏格兰街头出现了一个神秘女子(斯嘉丽·约翰逊 Scarlett Johansson 饰),她身着皮草,驾驶一辆汽车,不苟言笑的面庞隐约间弥散着摄人魅力。她时不时地与路边的男人搭讪,向他们问路,间或载着相中的男人同归。她走向黑暗的劲头,被欲望支配的男人们紧随其后,却全然未能觉察自己步入了怎样的深渊。男人有如飞蛾扑火,被抽取了骨血,只剩空空皮囊,薄如蝉翼。直到某个晚上,女人搭载了一个相貌极其丑陋的男子。他宛如怪物一般,自知丑陋而深深隐藏自己。女人如往常一样接纳了他,而从第二天起,似乎女人发现自己在悄悄发生着变化。她发现了这幅皮囊的可欣赏之处,享受作为女人的乐趣,却几乎忘记了本来的面目…… 本片根据米歇尔·法贝尔(Michel Faber)的小说改编。An alien entity inhabits the earthly form of a young woman who combs the roads and streets of Scotland in search of the human prey she came to plunder.
