Lou Crushek works as a reasonable, easygoing detective who happens to be a shapeshifting bear. His world gets complicated when someone starts murdering the criminals he works to arrest. The killer turns out to be Marcella Malone, a curvy she-tiger who belongs to an elite feline protection unit. Cella has no qualms about eliminating anyone who hunts her species. Crush finds himself both frustrated and attracted to this dangerous feline who operates by her own rules. The unlikely pair joins forces to track down a wealthy human who has targeted Cella's entire species for elimination. Their partnership creates friction as Crush's methodical approach clashes with Cella's direct action style.
