PLOT SUMMARY

Teenager Scott Howard is having a hard time at school - his baseball team is hopeless, the girl he wants to be with barely notices him and now he's found that he's inherited the family curse - he's a werewolf! But rather than making his life even more miserable, he finds that his lupine alter ego makes him immensely popular.
