Modern police thriller collides with classic werewolf tale when Kate and her partner are kicked off a juicy gun-running case to investigate a series of bizarre animal maulings. But as she begins to develop strange symptoms and powerful, frightening abilities, Kate realizes she may know this beast better than she could possibly imagine.
Now, her nightmares have invaded her waking life, and there’s more than just her job on the line—her humanity and the lives of everyone around her are at stake!
