SYNOPSIS:

This is the origin story of Sven Thorenson, a wolf hunter and taxidermist, escaping from the great South Michigan flood of 1987. The story starts off with Sven, Thoren (his father) and Corey (his son) fleeing to North Michigan and trying to survive the complete loss of their home in the South. An incident brings the ritualistic nine noble Viking rules as a focal story arc. Wexford has changed since Thoren was away and when the family gets into the crosshairs of a neo-Nazi gang and their leader, all hell starts to break loose. Sven is at a loss when his family members are murdered and he goes completely psychotic, seeking vengeance using the ritual of the nine noble Viking rules. Each rule and its testament, determines which victim and which organ that Sven has to sacrifice to the Viking God Odin. The use of Viking henbane creates the titular “dogman” costume that Sven transforms into, as a new entity. Here lies the origin story of the infamous “Michigan Dogman” - reputed to be the scariest beast in North America, with every year ending with a “7”.
