Synopsis

Teen Wolf follows Scott Howard, an average high school student who discovers he comes from a family of werewolves when he begins transforming during puberty. Rather than hiding his condition, Scott embraces his wolf persona, which turns him into a basketball superstar and social sensation. Ultimately, he learns that true acceptance comes from being himself, not a supernatural creature.
