Synopsis

The hunt has never tasted so sweet.

From the producers of UNDERWORLD, BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE is based on the bestselling novel by Annette Curtis Klause.

In remote and mountainous Colorado a young girl looks on helplessly as her family are murdered by a gang of savage men for the secret they carry in their blood. Escaping into the surrounding woods she changes into a wolf to foil the hunters after her.

Ten years later living in Bucharest, Vivian Gandillon (Agnes Brucker) is still running. During the day she works in a chocolate shop but her nights are spent in the underground clubs with her cousin Rafe (Bryan Dick) and his gang of delinquents called 'The Five'. But she only finds her true free spirit running through the woods on the outskirts of the city... never knowing what she's chasing as it always evades capture.

These shape shifters or 'loup garoux' are believed to have been persecuted to extinction and Aiden Garret (Hugh Dancy), an artist, arrives in Bucharest to do research for his next graphic novel on their mythology. Fighting his own personal demons, they achieved what Aiden lacks, transcendence - the ability to change what they are.

Unaware the loup garoux still co-exist with humans he meets Vivian and is strongly attracted to her. Not knowing who or what she is, he persists until she agrees to see him. Vivian lives under the protection of Gabriel (Oliver Martinez) the leader of the loup garoux and she has already been chosen... her destiny is already predetermined.
