When a small, remote town in Oregon is struck by a series of brutal and unexplained deaths, all clues point toward a horrifying and unnatural force: dogs. Not just any dogs β these canines are organized, intelligent, and violently vengeful.
Veterinarian Dr. Lila Hartley (Anya Taylor-Joy) begins to notice strange behavioral changes in the animals she treats. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a terrifying secret tied to a government experiment gone wrong β one that awakened an ancient instinct buried deep within the species.
