Patsy Walker, an investigative journalist better known as the vigilante "the Hellcat," investigates a series of bizarre animal attacks on male criminals, noticing each murder seems to have a sexual edge to them and that they're all somewhat connected to the ten-year disappearance of Greer Grant-Nelson, a childhood friend. As the bodies pile up, it's a race against time to find this seductively mysterious tiger-like figure before it begins losing what humanity it has left and start attacking innocent people... all whilst evading police, who mistake the murders as her doing.
