Once settled, Ambrose struggles to adapt to retirement life, clashing with other residents including Gloria, Anna, and Emma. Initially charmed by his spirited personality, they soon find his obstinacy unbearable.

The tranquility is shattered when Delores, Ambrose's duplex-mate, becomes the first victim of a series of horrifying attacks. This incident escalates the tension in the community, setting the stage for further chaos.

One fateful night, a creature invades Delores' home, leading to a brutal attack that leaves Ambrose gravely injured. His loyal German Shepherd bravely defends him, but tragically succumbs to its injuries during the fight.

The day after the attack, local authorities dismiss Ambrose's claims of a supernatural creature, labeling it as a mere animal attack. Despite this, Ambrose believes that a werewolf is responsible for the growing chaos in the community.

As Ambrose digs the grave for his beloved dog, he becomes increasingly suspicious about the disappearances of residents near the mystical forest. His acute instincts push him to investigate the strange happenings that plague the community.

Ambrose's investigations lead him to suspect Gloria's husband, but when he inadvertently disconnects the iron lung keeping him alive, it results in accusations of attempted murder. Gloria's anger leads to Ambrose's eviction from their community.

Shifting his focus, Ambrose targets Father Roger Smith and his friend James, both of whom show symptoms that raise suspicion. Ambrose confronts them in a desperate search for clues about the emerging werewolf threat.

Ambrose's behavior concerns the community, leading to complaints about his disturbed grave digging. The authorities question his mental stability, while Ambrose remains resolute in uncovering the truth.

As the lunar cycle peaks, Ambrose finishes digging the grave for his dog. Simultaneously, James manipulates the other residents, unleashing the curse of lycanthropy upon them and deepening Ambrose's sense of urgency.

Ambrose discovers Gloria's husband has been slain, heightening the impending danger surrounding him. He feels urgency to return home and prepare for the next night as the threat of werewolves grows stronger.

In a moment of desperation, James confesses to Father Smith about his involvement but is met with doubt. His confession leads to tragic consequences as the werewolf continues to claim lives in the community.

As night falls, Ambrose prepares for the final confrontation against the attacking werewolves on his property. Armed with an array of weapons and traps, he courageously defends his home but realizes the depth of the threat he faces.

Ambrose uses his keen instincts to counter the werewolf threat, knowing he will not escape unscathed. In his final moments, he finds peace in ending James's terror, accepting the fate that awaits him.
