When Nathan goes outside to get his phone and make a call, he is approached by an injured man. He runs in to get help, but by the time everyone gets back, there is nothing but a pile of cinders, as if the man spontaneously combusted.
Nathan wants to call the police, which is convenient since Red's brother Markus is the Sheriff. But when Markus and the family don't want to follow protocol, they decide they have to trust Nathan and explain that they come from a long line of werewolf hunters and are continuing the family tradition. Needless to say, Nathan needs a long walk.
He's still walking after dark - which seems crazy since he's in the middle of nowhere. Even if he didn't believe in werewolves, a wounded old dude just had a case of spontaneous combustion in your fiances driveway. Who injured him? Is that person in the woods? But Nathan is so focused on his bad cell reception that he keeps walking until he meets Gabriel, who takes his warning of danger in the woods seriously by turning into a werewolf and biting him. No one shall ask why Red didn't go looking for Nathan sooner when the family knew the pile of cinders was the head of the last wolf clan.
Gabriel can change into a wolf at will, and is planning to teach the clan how to do the same. With Nathan bitten, the truce between wolf and hunters broken, and Gabriel's game of kidnapping people to use as prey for his clan, Red's family gets out the big guns.
This is a TV movie, which becomes obvious when it fades to black in places where it would be convenient to place a commercial. So there isn't a lot of blood and the wolves are CGI. But it kept my interest and you have to accept it for what it is - made for TV. Also it has Stephen McHattie as Gabriel, which is a plus.
