Their town has been terrorised by a wolf, a wolf that appears only at the full moon, and when Valerie's sister is brutally murdered the message is clear: she's next. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. As panic grips the town, Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast - making her both suspect and bait...
