Unbeknownst to her, the estate is located near a forest where centuries ago, a supernatural beast known as 'La Bête' roamed, driven by an insatiable lust for virginal girls. Soon after arriving, Lucy begins experiencing vivid, sensual visions of the beast. The film follows Lucy's experiences and explores whether there is any truth to the legend of La Bête.
