Shipwrecked in the Pacific Ocean, Edward Prendick is rescued only to find himself on the strange island of Dr. Moreau. Hidden away on this remote island, Dr. Moreau has been conducting bizarre experiments for over ten years, genetically modifying animals to give them consciences and the ability to speak. These beasts obey a very precise set of rules called The Law that forbids them from exhibiting any primitive behavior and commands that they worship Dr. Moreau as a god. Trapped on the jungle island, Prendick soon discovers that the animal impulses of these creatures are far from forgotten.
