Plot
In  Haysville ,  California , Sean Allen ( Nick Jonas ) is an average seventeen-year-old teenage boy living with his mother Maria ( Melissa Ponzio ), a nurse at  Haysville Hospital , and attends  Haysville High School  with his childhood best-friends Joey Miller ( Dylan O’Brien ), the son of the local sheriff, Jeff Miller ( Joe Flanigan ), and Greg Gibson ( Romeo Miller ). One night, Sean, Joey and Greg sneak out on a school night into the underground caves beneath Haysville to hang out and talk about their future after graduating high school; Sean plans to soon get married and start a family; Greg plans to leave Haysville and become a famous basketball player; and Joey plans to become a great engineer.



While walking in the woods, Sean is attacked and bitten by a  Werewolf . He flees back to Joey and Greg, and they are caught and taken home by Sheriff Miller. Later on, Sean discovers he has gained supernatural abilities, including enhanced super-strength, speed, durability, reflexes and heightened senses. After revealing his newfound powers to Joey and Greg, Sean gains respect from popular girl, Halle Martin ( Emma Watson ), who is in a relationship with Sean’s rival enemy, Neal Forbes ( Miles Teller ), who’s father, Tim Forbes ( Kurt Fuller ), is the mayor of Haysville. Joey has a love crush on Halle, but hesitates to tell her or grow the courage. Halle is best-friends with Kiera Gibson ( Keke Palmer ), Greg’s sister, Jenna Roberts ( Halston Sage ), Greg’s girlfriend, and Alyson Stark ( Selena Gomez ), whom Sean develops a romantic crush on.



Despite all of this, Sean struggles to maintain his urge for human flesh and, eventually, receives help from Jason Hale ( Zac Efron ), a full-born werewolf whose family perished in a fire seven years ago and is on the run from a society of professional werewolf-hunters. Jason lost interest in helping Sean, unwilling to risk getting exposed, until one night Sean saves Jason from being killed by Chris Stark ( J.R. Bourne ), Alyson’s father and leader of the werewolf hunters; Alyson is unaware of her family’s history and their purpose of killing werewolves, or that Sean, whom she is truly falling in love with, is a werewolf.



Over the past view days, several teenagers and others have been murdered. As Sheriff Miller investigates the murders, Sean, Joey, Greg and Jason, who are also investigating in the hopes of tracking down and killing the werewolf, possibly the one that bit Sean, discovers from one of the bodies that Jason’s uncle, Ian Hale ( Adam Brody ), who is the only survivor of the fire, is responsible for the killings and Jason is convinced that Ian has returned for vengeance. Jason hunts down and confronts Ian, who is revealed to be an  Alpha , the most powerful and deadliest of all werewolves, and is on a murdering spree on everyone on Haysville until he finds the person who murdered their family. Ian reveals that he was the one responsible for biting Sean, planning to make him join his pack and help him ravage the town.
