Gli scienziati di una base di ricerche in Alaska raccolgono un cane lupo che i loro colleghi norvegesi hanno tentato di abbattere. Lo mettono nel canile mentre due di essi si recano nella base norvegese che trovano abbandonata e piena di cadaveri. Trovano anche i resti di quello che sembra un disco volante. In breve il cane viene posseduto da una strana forza e si trasforma in belva. Il panico si diffonde nella base.
