Plot summary
Guests gather at the rural English mansion of Tom Newcliffe, a millionaire who has hunted big game around the world but never a werewolf. Among them are a disgraced diplomat, a pianist and his former student, an artist newly out of prison, and a professor who studies lycanthropy, along with Tom's wife Caroline. Tom states that one of the guests is a werewolf who must be killed. The house is watched by cameras, the grounds by motion sensors, all monitored by Tom's associate Pavel, who doubts that werewolves exist. The guests face tests designed to expose a transformation, while a narrator invites viewers to work out which of them is the beast.
