When a quiet college freshman is pressured into spending a weekend at his stepfather’s remote cabin, what begins as a familiar escape into the woods turns violently unpredictable. 

Following a series of brutal attacks, suspicion falls on a far more personal threat—one rooted not in myth, but in the darkness already present at home. Teaming with a fiercely independent friend, he is forced into a confrontation that blurs the line between man and monster, where the violence of the outside world mirrors something far more intimate and destructive. 

Reimagining the werewolf myth through a grounded, character-driven lens, Big Bad Wolf explores the corrosive effects of control, addiction, and generational trauma—and the courage it takes to break the cycle.
