Luke and Roger, two freshmen in college
, are virgins, desperate to get laid. While doing the laundry in their dorm, they meet two cousins called Lily and Constance. When Lily accidentally leaves a roll of quarters behind in the laundry, Luke goes to return them to her in her dorm room. When the girls come into the room before he leaves, he hides in the closet. Luke watches the girls open the windows and let the cold air surround them. He then watches in horror as tentacle
s appear from their chests and sexually arouse them.
Luke is sure that there is something strange about them. Then a man is found with his body frozen inside out and his mouth wide open. The forensic scientists assume a "keg drinking tube" was shoved down his throat, but it was in fact an alien
shoving a tentacle down his throat. Luke, with his best girlfriend Alex, try to solve the mystery and exterminate them.
Apparently, these aliens have come to earth in hopes of impregnating men, as their race is dying out. To save their race, the aliens persuade unsuspecting men to come with them to abandoned places, promising sex. However, the "mating" process involves sticking their tentacles down the male's throat. Most men die in the process because they cannot survive the cold temperature and the aliens fail yet again to produce spawn. Roger allows Constance to "mate" with him after she explains everything to him as she has fallen in love with him when she wasn't supposed to. She explains that they're merely trying to survive and that they don't want anyone to die. He agrees to mate with her to try to give her and her race a chance to survive. Luke comes in just in time to see a baby alien crawl out of Roger's mouth, and Roger dies soon after, leaving Constance horrified as she didn't want him to die.
Luke then discovers that, while the aliens love the cold, they hate heat. In the end, using a flamethrower
and with the help of a cop who believes him, he exterminates Lily, Constance and the other aliens, in revenge for Roger's death, not knowing the truth. Alex congratulates him and they start to have sex. There's a sudden flashback to the very beginning of the movie when the jock sees the dead people. He looks up and sees Alex who then says "You're early". Suddenly Luke realizes Alex is an alien. He screams as she pins him down and rapes him and her tentacles appear. The camera zooms out of the room as Luke's screams fade away.
