People face sudden attacks from both domestic pets and wild creatures. A key incident occurs at an LA zoo, where a tiger turns violent without prior history of such behavior. This event coincides with the death of a zoo staff member by their charge. Police hunt a suspect potentially linked to these deaths.

The story connects these medical findings to the strange phenomenon mentioned earlier. Passan structures the plot around these dual investigations. The book appeals to readers who enjoy suspenseful narratives involving scientific mystery and urban danger. It may not suit those seeking historical horror or supernatural elements without logical explanation. The work relies on a straightforward progression of events.
