As dawn breaks in Central Park, an Irish Setter
named JOJO is bitten by a naked man. The next morning JoJo wakes up with
the body of a human. His owner JAKE, wants to believe it’s a hoax, but
the hard evidence just screams werewolf. Jake enlists the help of their
brilliant and beautiful veterinarian, ANN. She reasons that since a worm
can go to sleep and wake up a butterfly, the man-child Jake found in his
triple-locked, high-rise apartment that morning could be/was his dog.
They take JoJo to DR. GILHAM, an Internist who takes special interest in
rare disorders.
JoJo struggles to learn the ropes of operating a human body and all its
natural functions. Ann and the doctor run DNA tests to verify this
science-shattering metamorphosis. Meanwhile Jake returns to the park in
search of answers. He meets the OLD SKATEBOARDER, the alpha male of a
pack of werewolves who live and hunt in the Central Park. Retired alpha,
DEACON, finds the werewolf network afraid that JoJo’s existence will out
them. But the Deacon believes that Dr. Gilham may discover a cure for
lycanthropy - the secret dream of all werewolves.
Wereperson JoJo takes the human name Jonah. He applies his oddball
aptitude for relating to dogs in his new job at Ann’s uptown
veterinarian clinic. He can get dogs to obey like no one else – making
him the best damn dog walker in New York City. But as he becomes more
human he falls in love with Ann. Jake and Jonah fight over her and in
the scuffle Jonah accidentally bites Jake – forcing him to face some
strange changes of his own.
The werewolves bite Dr. Gilham, making him one of them. They offer to
fund his research. The good doctor is now highly motivated to find that
cure and perhaps win a Nobel Prize. When the time comes for the research
to go public the werewolf pack relocates to Florida to avoid being
hunted down in the park by gangs of self-righteous morons. They leave
our heroes to face the storm of publicity that will hit when the world
learns that werewolves are a natural phenomenon – a fact that will throw
a monkey-wrench into both the theory of evolution and intelligent design
alike.
Jake and Jonah learn to accept the fact that Ann won’t chose between
them. The three remain best friends even though each one is now a
slightly different species.
