5The film focuses on a group of werewolf hunters in the 19th century, summoned to a village to investigate the attacks of a new type of werewolf; rather than only transform on a full moon, the werewolf transforms three nights in a row. A young medical student named Daniel becomes impressed by the werewolf hunters and seeks to become the protégé of their leader Charles. While hunting, they discover this particular werewolf is as intelligent as a human and not a mindless animal they usually are. [[TokenRomance On the romantic side of the story]], Daniel is in a relationship with a rich girl named Eva, who doesn't want him to be hunting werewolves, and gets into a love triangle with a hunter named Stefan.
