Questa è una storia di paura diversa da tutte le altre. Certo, racconta di un personaggio notoriamente di paura, il lupo cattivo, ma attenzione: tutti conoscono il lupo cattivo delle favole, ma chi sa come è diventato cattivo? O perché? Se è nato cattivo, o se per colpa di qualcun altro è diventato così? Ecco che questa non è più una fiaba qualsiasi, ma un racconto che prende nuova vita per esplorare le origini di uno dei personaggi forse meno amati, ma senz'altro tra i più popolari di favole classiche e moderne.
