In 1957, on Skull Island, zoo official Stewart McAlden and his team attempts to smuggle out a Sumatran rat-monkey, a hybrid creature that resulted from the rape of tree monkeys by plague-carrying rats.

In Hataitai, the meek Lionel Cosgrove lives with his domineering mother Vera in a Victorian mansion.

Although unable to comprehend what's going on, Lionel keeps them sedated with animal tranquilizers and locked in the basement.
