Much to her horror, 16-year old Mia's abusive father is killed by a werewolf — right in front of her. With her mother already dead and her brother Zak missing, Mia is now completely alone. When her estranged uncle whisks her away to Hood Academy, where he is director, she thinks it is the answer to her prayers.  Hood is a school for werewolf hunters and Mia fits right in.

The community of Monrovia in Los Angeles County is relatively quiet.  It has finally moved on from the Manson family murders, and crime is now virtually unheard of — that is, until three girls vanish with only notes left behind. The police department is baffled and worried that more people will disappear. They call on the Wildcat Crew, a group of aspiring teenage sleuths, for help.
