In the heartland of an unassuming countryside town, young Amy, a teenager nurtured under the protective wing of her widowed father, John, finds her ordinary life beginning to shimmer with the promise of extraordinary love. Her heart is stolen by the enigmatic newcomer, Dan, a mechanic with a secret as old as the moon itself. Underneath his ordinary facade, Dan harbors an ancient curse that transforms him into a werewolf under the full moon's light. Their blossoming romance is soon overshadowed by a rising tide of terror. A string of brutal human and animal murders throws the town into a state of fear, with all signs pointing towards the work of a wolf. As the local sheriff, Sam, a seasoned ex-homicide detective, delves into the mysterious killings, an unexpected revelation comes from the uninvited sheriff Charles Thibodeaux. He exposes the true identity of the killer - Bender, a man linked to Dan by blood and shares the same dreadful curse. Drawn into a terrifying vortex of evil, Amy's tranquil life becomes a battleground. Alongside her are Thibodeaux, who has witnessed Bender's bloodlust from a dangerously close proximity, Sam, the tenacious local sheriff, and John, Amy's father, a resilient local farmer. Together they form an unlikely alliance, ready to confront the malevolent Bender. As the moon swells to its fullest, the stage is set for an epic showdown. Dan, Amy, and their band of steadfast defenders find themselves pitted against Bender's relentless terror, standing firm in the face of the dark moon rising. The fate of their love and their town hangs in the balance in this thrilling tale of romance, curses, and courage.
