The story

What Is Wild Beasts About?

The premise of Wild Beasts without spoilers.

PCP contaminates Frankfurt’s water, driving the zoo’s animals mad. A security glitch lets the frantic beasts roam the city, devouring anything in a night of brutal carnage. Brash zookeeper John Aldrich, a cartoon‑plumber look‑alike, and fierce Italian‑trash‑talker Lorraine De Selle race to stop the chaos.
