Always an outsider and often unnoticed, Scott McCall yearns to be recognized in some small way that takes him out of his typical state of high school anonymity. When Stiles convinces him to go into the woods one night to join a police search for a dead body, Scott encounters a creature in the darkness. Narrowly escaping an attack with a vicious bite to his side, the next day brings strange surprises for Scott at school and his life will never be the same. Suddenly, he discovers newfound powers; he can hear things he shouldn’t be able to hear, see with startling accuracy and move with incredible reflexes. Usually a bench-warmer on the lacrosse team, Scott becomes the starting player and catches the eye of Lydia Martin, the school’s most popular girl. But it’s the new girl in touch, Allison Argent, who captures Scott’s heart. Throughout the season, he will have to fight his darker animal urges, contend with other werewolves and outrun a family of werewolf hunters sworn to kill him and his kind.
