Overview
A resilient young trans woman risks her life to escape an abusive past and finds new family in her former enemies, a tight-knit pack of queer werewolves. Ariadne finds her world turned upside down when she infiltrates the home of a reclusive pack of forest dwellers. The monsters of her imagination turn out to be more familial than her own father and their kindness forces her to reconsider her original mission.
