Here's a longer synopsis:
Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured
back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with
his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his
brother... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After
he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spend decades
recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancee,
Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her
missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns
something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been
killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard
inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to
investigate.
As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse
that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full.
Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting
the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious
creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for
the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will
uncover a primal side to himself...one he never imaged existed.
