Review Summaries

"Nick Lupo is a Milwaukee cop with a secret: he is a werewolf, though he is still trying to cope with his "condition." A killer who knows Nick's secret has come to town to exact revenge for the killing of his sister, whom he adored. Martin Stewart is the deranged murderer, and he intends to torture the cop as long as possible before killing him. He begins by murdering Nick's friend, an escort and sometime porn actress. Nick must come to grips with her murder and her lifestyle, as well as his own existence, while racing to head off more killings. In the meantime, Martin sets a trap for Nick in the North Woods, using the woman Nick loves -- a lovely town doctor -- as bait and hiring three local thugs to help him. All these characters and others come together in a climactic battle at a closed summer camp in the woods."
