#MonsterLivesMatter
Lycan is an activist full of optimism. Dennis is an actor full of egocentrism. Two opposites with a common detail: they are both monsters. Together they will try to convince humans that, even tho most monsters hunt humans, not all of them are horrible.
Some of them are quite handsome.
