In a small but not too quiet town, Cam Banter, a high school basketball star with a monstrous secret — that he’s part of a pack of paranormal shifters with the ability to change into werewolves — struggles to find his place on the team and the changes happening in his life when his abilities begin to show and he’s unable to control them. With an overbearing father whose expectations exceed what Cam is capable of and pushes him to his limit, teammates who no longer trust him or even like him, and a basketball rival from another school trying to rekindle things with one of the stars of the girls’ basketball team that Cam has his eyes on and is a confidant for him, he is left trying to figure things out on his own…That is until his new coach, who has a secret of his own, attempts to make a difference in his life. But will Cam let him in before it’s too late? It’s a teenage fight for survival on both a social and personal level as basketball, life, and the supernatural all clash.
