As the killings increase, one of the detectives catches a very brief sighting of what appears to be a bipedal wolf. The shocking state of the victims’ remains leads the detectives to suspect some kind of cannibal cult or wild animal behind the murders. The Wolfen tells the story of two New York City police detectives who are investigating a series of mysterious deaths across the city.
