Plot
In the 19th century, a boy named Charles watches as a werewolf slaughters his family. Before dying, Charles' mother gives him a silver amulet of a wolf head, which belonged to his grandfather, a "Great Hunter" of werewolves. Charles escapes death by activating a trap which causes a chandelier to fall and kill the werewolf. Twenty-five years later, Charles is a werewolf bounty-hunter. Werewolves can inflict lycanthropy. Infected individuals are typically shot in the head, after which their bodies are burned. Werewolves can only transform during the full moon. Charles and his band of bounty-hunters receive an offer to hunt down a werewolf of a new breed. This new type of werewolf can transform three nights in a row.
