"As he navigates his double life — Hollywood actor by day, supernatural warrior by night — Taylor must wrestle with the ultimate irony: fighting the very creatures that made him famous. Between saving the world, reviving his career, and falling in love, he faces the ultimate question — what happens when your biggest role becomes your greatest enemy?" the summary reads
During his appearance on SiriusXM's TODAY Radio Show in March 2023, Taylor Lautner mentioned that he hit pause on acting because he needed space from years of playing Jacob in Twilight.
