But the life that Patrick loves is about to change drastically as he strays into an alley one evening and is attacked by a vicious predator-a werewolf. Patrick O’Connell is living the life he always dreamed of, filled not with riches, fame, or glory, but blessed with a woman he truly loves-his dear wife, Maggie, and the light of his life, his young daughter, Jessica.
