To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams up with a discredited geneticist to secure an antidote, fighting their way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once Okoye’s friend.
