Irena and Oliver fall in love, but something holds her back.
It's then that she meets Paul and he explains that he is the leopard and can't morph back into a man until he kills. He then tells her that she is the same way and the only way to stop it is if they mate, but she refuses.
Paul attacks Oliver but is killed by his friend.
All alone, Irena runs away. But, a dream about Paul prompts her to return. She makes love to Oliver and then morphs into a black leopard and flees.
Oliver tracks her to his cabin in the swamp where she's killed a man and morphed back into a girl.
