Shape-Shifters takes place in war-torn Afghanistan where a US Marine Corps platoon has two unique marines assigned: men who are werewolves. These shape-shifters, with their regenerative powers, extraordinary strength and vision, are reviled by the other Marines, often insulted as ‘animals’ and ‘dog soldiers’. But when a surprise Taliban attack takes one of the werewolves out, it’s discovered that the enemies have werewolf soldiers as well. Bent on vengeance, the remaining werewolf marine meets the enemy werewolves under a full moon where they shape-shift into their feral forms and fight to the death. Victorious, the Marine decides service isn't for him, and he buries his packmate in the hills, leaving the Marine base behind.
