The story: A linguistics professor was working on communication between humans and primates.

While doing so, she adopted a chimp she named Ben, who has since become part of her family.

Sadly, when the professor passed away, Ben was left in the care of the professor's husband, Adam, and their two daughters, Lucy and Erin.

Present day, Lucy has just returned home for the weekend after being away with friends.

She has brought her friends home with her as well.

Her father will be going out of town for the weekend on business, but before he leaves, he learns that Ben has been bitten by a mongoose.

Adam instructs his daughters to keep Ben in his enclosure while he is away, just to be on the safe side.

Meanwhile, he will have the mongoose tested and call in a friend to see to Ben's injuries.

Unfortunately, things take a quick turn for the worse when Ben gets loose and begins terrorizing Lucy, Erin, and their friends.
