Plot Summary


In the City of Love, Andy McDermott (Andy McDermott) embarked on a carefree adventure with friends Brad and Chris, indulging in the sights and sounds of Paris. However, their merriment was disrupted when Serafine Pigot made a daring leap off the Eiffel Tower mere seconds before Andy was set to take the plunge himself. As fate would have it, Andy seized the opportunity to execute a mid-air rescue, drawing him into a world of intrigue as Serafine vanished into the night. The mystery deepened when Andy, Chris, and Brad stumbled upon Club de la Lune, a nightclub hosted by Serafine’s enigmatic friend Claude. Though Serafine was nowhere to be found, Chris volunteered to pay her a visit, only to find himself trapped in her basement with an unexpected roommate: a legless werewolf confined to a bed.

As the night wore on, Chris managed to escape and alert his friends to the sinister forces at play. But it soon became clear that Claude was not just any club owner - he was the leader of a secret society of werewolves using their establishment as a hunting ground for unsuspecting prey. Serafine reappeared, urging Andy to flee, but not before she transformed into her true form: a snarling, slavering werewolf. The club’s patrons were butchered by Claude and his cohorts, including Brad.

The next day, Andy found himself awash in Serafine’s world, struggling to come to terms with the revelation that he too was transforming into a werewolf. But just as he began to wrap his head around this new reality, the ghost of Serafine’s mother appeared, casting a pall of dread over their conversation. In a panic, Andy leapt from the window, abandoning Chris and hurtling towards a desperate quest for self-preservation.

As the stakes grew higher, Brad’s ghost materialized before Andy, revealing the dark truth about his own condition. To restore balance to his life, Andy was forced to confront the beast that had bitten him - the only way to reclaim his humanity was to devour its heart. Meanwhile, Brad’s spirit implored Andy to avenge his death by eliminating the werewolf responsible for his demise.

As Andy navigated this treacherous landscape, he found himself drawn to American tourist Amy Finch at a cemetery, only to succumb to his inner beast and unleash a bloodbath upon her and a curious cop. His subsequent arrest proved short-lived as Andy broke free and began to see Amy’s ghostly apparition, which tormented him with its relentless pursuit.

Claude and his minions soon snared Andy, pressuring him to join their ranks by forcing him to commit an unthinkable act: killing Chris. But Serafine intervened once more, rescuing Andy from certain doom and leading him back to her home, where they discovered the aftermath of a brutal ransacking - evidence that Claude had pilfered the life-saving drugs developed by Serafine’s stepfather, who had been confined to a bed as a legless werewolf.

As the sweltering summer air hangs heavy over the city, Andy and Serafine learn of Claude’s sinister plans to host a Fourth of July party, masquerading as a festive gathering beneath the guise of camaraderie. With their suspicions piqued, they infiltrate the seemingly innocent celebration, intent on helping the unsuspecting guests escape from Claude’s clutches. However, their mission is soon derailed when they flee in panic upon discovering that the authorities have descended upon the scene, unwittingly sealing the fate of those trapped within.

Claude and his cohorts, driven by a malevolent force, succumb to the dark allure of the mysterious drug, unleashing a bloodbath that claims almost every life at the party. As Andy and Serafine make their hasty exit, they find themselves face-to-face with a monstrous creature - a werewolf - and must fight for survival.

In the chaos that ensues, Serafine takes matters into her own hands, injecting herself with the potent serum to take on another of these ferocious beasts. Meanwhile, Andy becomes separated from his companion and stumbles upon their struggle, unaware of which party is which. In a heart-wrenching mistake, he accidentally shoots Serafine, leaving her to be discovered by the authorities in a state of mortal danger.

As fate would have it, a werewolf pursues Andy down an abandoned train track, only to be struck and killed by an oncoming train. The driver and several passengers are left shaken but alive as Andy boards the train, his own transformation imminent.

With the drug’s effects wearing off, Claude reveals himself as the true mastermind behind the carnage, and the two engage in a fierce battle for control of the last vial of the serum. In a climactic turn of events, Andy discovers Claude’s culpability in his own affliction and must confront the dark forces that have driven him to this point.

As the struggle reaches its boiling point, Andy finds himself inadvertently injected with the last dose of the drug, precipitating a chain reaction of events that will determine the fate of all involved. In the end, it is Andy who ultimately triumphs over Claude, devouring his heart in a ritualistic act that holds the key to breaking their own curse and potentially Serafine’s as well.

In a bittersweet epilogue, Serafine and Andy celebrate their union atop the iconic Statue of Liberty, surrounded by the remnants of their ordeal. Chris, a steadfast friend who has endured the trials alongside them, inadvertently drops the wedding ring into the abyss below, prompting the newlyweds to take the leap of faith - quite literally - as they bungee jump off the statue, embracing their new life together amidst the majestic backdrop of New York City’s skyline.
