Mannequins, Catherine et Florence posent pour des photos sexy. Un travail sans histoire jusqu'au jour où Catherine se sent suivie et épiée. Alors que la police refuse de la croire lorsqu'elle raconte son viol, son employeuse Valérie vient la récupérer. Une nuit, le petit groupe va faire dans photos dans un cimetière avec l'autorisation du conservateur qui ne se doutait pas du genre de photos. Ulcéré, il étrangle, dès le lendemain, une jeune femme très séduisante et se jette sous un camion. Lorsque Catherine et Florence reviennent d'un séjour aux États-Unis, l'atmosphère est tendue. Harcelée par des appels anonymes, tous ses proches pensent qu'elle délire. Très vite, l'entourage de Catherine est décimé par un mystérieux tueur.
