Despite his daughter's protests, King Thorsson decides to take one last trip to Bear Island before the beautiful Freya is wed to fiancée and heir to the throne Sven (William Gregory Lee). When King Thorsson is betrayed by Sven and led into the lair of a dreaded man-beast (David Dukas), Freya wastes no time in racing to save her beloved father. A former mortal man abandoned by his people and cursed to walk the planet as a horrific monster, the beast lives in isolation and shame as he clings to his last shreds of humanity. When Freya arrives prepared to sacrifice herself for the good of her kingdom and the life of her father, the beast sees in her a beauty that renews his hope for a better life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
