Stumbling into the encampment of Captain Richard Ryan, on a top secret mission for the Special Operations Division, they find him mortally injured and his crack unit torn to shreds. Stunned by the blood-soaked carnage they have witnessed, the shocked corps is taken by the mysterious Megan to a deserted farmhouse deep in the forest for refuge. However, the farmhouse is the domain of a pack of hungry werewolves and they want to reclaim their woodland property as well as feast on the flesh of their trapped victims. With no radio contact, limited ammunition and only each other to rely on, the frightened soldiers must fall back on their basic training if they are to fight the demonic monsters battering down the doors and smashing through the windows. Who will survive the terrifying threat? And what will be left of them if they do?
