A creature-thriller that balances the warmth of a boy-and-dog bond against the paranoid dread of being hunted by a genetic abomination.

A boy takes in a stray dog, later finding out that it's an ultra-intelligent runaway from a genetic research lab. Unbeknownst to him, the dog is being stalked by another escaped creature that's not quite so friendly.
