About Know The Beast:
Family can be a real beast.
2010: Meet the Gibbs twins, Poppy and Arthur. Born to an addict mother, with no father, in the middle of Ohio, they have been keeping their dysfunctional little family afloat for years by taking under-the-table jobs and hiding Mom’s stash so she wouldn’t go on yet another bender. It’s a hard life, but at least they have two things to brighten it up a bit: Their mutual love and support, and their dream of making it big in Hollywood someday. But that dream pops like a soap bubble when Poppy gets bitten by a werewolf and, fearing of what she might do to her family, flees with nothing but the clothes on her back and the beast looking at her from every mirror. She is believed dead, and a heartbroken Arthur – who’s become an underage prostitute in order to pay his share of the bills – no longer has anything keeping him in Ohio. He steals his pimp’s black diamond necklace, a gift from the man’s dear dead mom, and abandons his mother to her fate.
2022: After twelve years of self-inflicted wounds and smoking wolfsbane, Poppy’s curse is finally catching up to her. She has days left before her final transformation, if even that. Thus, she resolves to make amends with her twin. What she finds, however, is not the brother she remembers. Arthur has become a D-list porn star living in an LA beach house bought and paid for by his lover, a rich but unremarkable Hollywood director. Despite countless false starts and even falser promises, Arthur is still determined to become a star; not just for himself, but for the sister he loved and lost. But when he finds that very same sister on his doorstep, alive yet inexplicably different, his life is thrown into a nose-dive.
Can the Gibbs twins reconcile, even after twelve years? Or are they destined to be devoured by their respective beasts?
