Premise
Actor, environmental activist and family man Bernhard "Buddy" Baker has dedicated his life to fighting crime as the superhero Animal Man. Bound by a dimensional plane known as "the Red", Buddy's titular alter-ego is blessed with both the ability and agility of every living species in the animal kingdom.

But when his young daughter Maxine begins to display necromancy-based powers and a strong interest in the Red, Buddy and his family are forced to go on the run from the Hunters Three, a trio of grotesque, shape-shifting monsters who will stop at nothing to kill Maxine and acquire her powers for world domination.

As a race-against-time begins, Buddy must venture into the mouth of madness to protect his daughter, and the Red, before it’s too late.
