    Summary

    Ethan Winters stumbles into the Village, convinced he has lost his wife, convinced he has been betrayed, and looking for answers. He is hopelessly out of the loop, and the depths of the horror he uncovers only grow deeper as he finds the scene of a gruesome massacre, monsters, and a cult set on using the last broken pieces of his family to fuel their depravity. He is alone, desperate, and faced with death at every turn.

    But there is help to be found: a beast as lost in its own mind as he is in the world attaches itself to him, lured by a nearly buried grief for what it has become, and what it has lost. Where Ethan seeks to save his daughter, it seeks a purpose other than endless cruelty. It shadows his steps and soon finds itself fighting to protect him against the seemingly insurmountable odds he faces.

    Or: the Winters family accidentally end up taking in an actual adult person/mutant stray.
