She was marked with the curse of those who slink and court and kill by night!
A Serbian-born fashion designer in New York fears an ancient curse that condemns her to transform into a deadly panther when aroused by passion or jealousy. Her growing romantic relationship with a marine engineer is strained by her attempts to suppress these dark instincts. As suspicion and fear mount, the line between myth and reality blurs with tragic consequences.
