Wolves

Plot

Cayden Richards is an average college student who plays football. Enraged by a rival player's headbutt during the football game, he retaliates with superhuman strength. Cayden later hurts his girlfriend, Lisa, when the passion of making out causes him to transform into a werewolf. After waking up covered in blood and surrounded by the dismembered bodies of his parents, he flees as the police arrive.

Cayden becomes a drifter, trying to keep his lycanthropy under control. In a roadside bar, he draws the attention of Wild Joe, who reveals himself to be a werewolf. Joe explains that werewolves come in two types: purebreds are natural-born werewolves from a small number of werewolf families that came to North America with the early settlers, while the bitten are more human-like and do not give birth to werewolf children. Cayden has only recently discovered that he was adopted; Joe confirms that they are both natural werewolves and that Cayden can learn more in a remote town called Lupine Ridge.

Cayden travels to Lupine Ridge and visits a bar, drawing hostile attention from the locals. Cayden is attracted to Angelina "Angel" Timmins, the beautiful young owner of the bar. He is eventually driven out of the bar by the locals and meets John Tollerman, who hires him as a farmhand. After working for Tollerman for a while, Cayden heads into town one night and is approached by a werewolf of his bloodline who understands who Cayden is, warning him that he is in danger and should leave town. Cayden's cousin is then killed by Connor, the alpha werewolf and ringleader of the patrons in Angel's bar. Cayden runs into Angel, and together they witness Connor and his pack eating Cayden's cousin after the murder.
