Mysterious animal attacks are happening in the forests of Colorado. One morning a forest ranger discovers a vehicle crashed and abandoned at the bottom of a hill. Later finding out a young girl has been kidnapped and the culprit isn’t human but grizzly. This launches a federal investigation into bear populations which ultimately reveals genetic tampering and extermination within certain animal groups alongside the desperate attempt by the mysterious figure of Dr. Intinman to keep the lid from blowing off a secret animal research program. The Superspecies is a surreal adventure about larger-than-life 'enhanced genetics' creatures which develop human-like intelligence and awareness (due to research experiments conducted on them), becoming dangerous to the established human/ animal order as well as scientists responsible for unleashing them on the world. A young girl is brutally abducted by a bloodthirsty grizzly, forcing a group of scientists to mop up a genetic engineering operation that is out of control, threatening any and all who enter the woods. One question remains: are the animals really dangerous for no reason at all or does their enhanced intelligence simply make them recognize something damning about human nature that needs to be understood before it’s too late? Harmonious coexistence with an emerging highly-intelligent species competing for dominance over the earth or total destruction of humans and animals alike?Those are the two options now.Two groups of scientific researchers are sent to a forest where bear attacks are frequent in order to study what is happening only to find themselves attacked and outsmarted (in part) by the animals themselves. Two environmental action groups also find themselves at odds over the fate of the dangerously genetically-enhanced creatures. One group wants to see the beasts wiped out completely and the other wants to preserve them at all costs, even at the expense of human life. The two sides are locked in an impasse, unable to resolve their differences in an amiable way which leads to ever-increasing tension, animosity, kidnapping and murder.Entire forests are quarantined in an attempt to control and contain the beasts but soon holes are discovered in the operation as key players start disappearing in addition to animals eluding their hunters, fighting back and changing the field of battle to their own terms. Ambushing their pursuers on more than one occasion.As the 'pro-beast' and 'pro-human' sides chase their own interests with the unfortunate bears caught in the middle (struggling to establish themselves in a human dominated world), the animals learn more and more to rely on their expanding awareness to survive and thrive in an entirely new world...to evolution shattering effect!
