Dr. Baker loses her teenage son to police violence on an American street. The last member of the Frankenstein bloodline, she inherits both scientific genius and ancestral rage. Baker retreats to her laboratory and builds her own creature, seeking the justice that courts and officials will never provide. Her creation awakens with a singular purpose: revenge against those who destroyed her family. But Baker's monster soon encounters his ancient predecessor, the original Frankenstein creature who has survived centuries and now pursues a darker mission to wipe out all of humanity. Two monsters born from grief and fury collide in contemporary America. Baker must confront what her need for vengeance has unleashed and whether love can survive the legacy of violence she has inherited.
