Synopsis

Twenty years after a mysterious and brutal experiment in a secret Russian laboratory transforms a young boy named Misha into something more than human, the consequences of that experiment reach Los Angeles.

 Misha, now a powerful and volatile crime figure with animal-like instincts and supernatural abilities, rules a violent network of Russian criminals operating out of Hollywood. His obsessive love for Marina—his beautiful but increasingly disillusioned girlfriend—keeps her trapped in his dangerous world. When Marina discovers a notebook containing the secrets behind Misha’s origin, along with valuable contraband that could destroy him, she steals the evidence and attempts to escape.

 Fleeing for her life, Marina becomes trapped inside a sprawling Hollywood apartment complex while Misha and his ruthless associates hunt for her. In desperation, she breaks into the apartment of Jack Irby, a struggling, eccentric screenwriter preparing for a lonely Oscar night. Jack’s life is already unraveling—his career has stalled, his girlfriend has left him, and his confidence is shattered. Marina initially holds him hostage at gunpoint to hide from her pursuers.
