In the picturesque Swiss countryside, a gruesome scene unfolds when the body of Vera Grandt is discovered beheaded. Inspector Rudolf Geiger and his assistant Kurt find the remains, marking the beginning of a dark mystery that will envelop several lives.

After the discovery of Vera's body, Inspector Geiger brings the remains to entomologist John McGregor. Through maggot analysis, McGregor estimates the time of death, which opens up avenues for the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Vera's murder.

Jennifer Corvino arrives at the Richard Wagner Academy for Girls, eager to learn more about her passion for insects. Under the strict supervision of Frau Brückner, her life initially seems routine until a series of chilling events begin to unfold.

While sleepwalking one night, Jennifer unwittingly witnesses a brutal murder, leaving her confused and terrified. Upon awakening, she finds herself lost in the dark woods, which foreshadows the horror that will soon engulf her life.

In her moment of desperation, Jennifer is saved by Inga, McGregor's loyal chimpanzee assistant. This encounter sets the stage for a unique alliance as Jennifer begins to unravel the threads linking her to the recent murders.

Seeking answers about her sleepwalking episodes, Jennifer undergoes a brain scan at the school. Unfortunately, the results yield no clarity, intensifying her anxiety and the mystery surrounding the murders at the academy.

The tension escalates when Jennifer's classmate Sophie is found dead, heightening the fear among the students. This horror pushes Jennifer further down the path of investigation, as she becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth.

A mystical firefly leads Jennifer to a critical clue: a maggot-infested glove that points toward the identity of the murderer. With this find, Jennifer feels the weight of the investigation resting heavily on her shoulders.

In an effort to catch the killer, McGregor gives Jennifer a specimen of the Great Sarcophagus fly, known for being attracted to decay. This specimen leads her to an abandoned house, intensifying the atmosphere of dread.

Tragedy strikes when McGregor becomes the next victim in the ongoing string of murders. His death leaves Jennifer devastated and even more motivated to escape the malevolent forces at play in her life.

After learning about her poisoning, Jennifer goes to seek refuge with Frau Brückner. Unbeknownst to her, she is stepping into a web of deceit and danger as she unravels Brückner's wicked intentions.

While trapped in a room, Jennifer discovers a hidden tunnel that leads her to a grim dungeon. Here, she is horrified to find Inspector Geiger, alive but chained up and disfigured, revealing the brutality of their situation.

In a frenzied attempt to escape, Jennifer plunges into a pool of decaying bodies while following Geiger's desperate pleas. Together, they navigate the depths of horror, striving to leave behind the gruesomeness of the dungeon.

In a harrowing climax, Jennifer faces Patua, Frau Brückner's deformed son, who relentlessly hunts her down. Using her telepathic abilities, she summons a swarm of flies to fend him off, leading to a dramatic moment where he meets his demise.

In a final confrontation, Jennifer faces off against Frau Brückner. The twisted antagonist meets her end when Inga intervenes dramatically, wielding a straight razor, bringing the film's nightmarish events to a chilling conclusion.
