Adrian, a veterinarian student, volunteers at an animal shelter with his long-time friend Marty on the weekends. Only this weekend isn’t going like most. They’ve had a cat come in who seems special and is really scared. In preparation to leave the shelter to go home Adrian hits his head leaving him a little disillusioned. Adrian’s apartment is not allowed pets, but he takes the cat home with him anyway feeling like it’s the right thing to do. What he thought was a hallucination turns out to be a dream come true, this cat is a shifter and one of the most gorgeous loving creatures Adrian has ever met. The trouble that follows this particular shifter though turns out to be very dangerous.
