What Is Dire Wolf About?

The premise of Dire Wolf without spoilers.

A genetically engineered hybrid—half human, half dire wolf—breaks free from a secret laboratory and terrorizes a sleepy farming town. Sheriff Parker, a laid‑back lawman, teams with enthusiastic game warden Jim and a pair of federal agents to track down the creature before its killing spree spirals out of control.
