• Charles Brady and his mother Mary, move to a small town. They are sleepwalkers and they are looking for a virgin girl to feed Mary's cravings. Charles attends the local high school and meets Tanya Robertson. Tanya does not suspect the real reason why Charles wants her so much — to take her lifeforce for his seductive mother. As the tension mounts (and the casualties pile up) the town's cats gather for a final showdown with the monsters in their midst. (In the begining of the movie it is revealed that Sleepwalkers can only be killed by the scratch of a cat)
