Based on a novel by Dennis Danvers, the three-part British miniseries Wilderness asks the question "Can a nice Quaker girl find happiness as a sometimes-werewolf?" At the beginning of each lunar cycle, heroine Alice White (Amanda Ooms) transforms into a wolf -- or at least that is her story. Unable to convince her sweetheart that she suffers from lycanthropy, Alice turns to a psychiatrist who, instead of helping her, draws up plans to exploit her "complex" for his own professional advancement. Despairing, Alice heads to a Scottish wildlife retreat, where the story reaches its startling conclusion. Since its original TV run in 1996, Wilderness has been released to video in a shortened "feature film" version.
