    The Sohmas are a family cursed, the circumstances of which have led to their isolation from the rest of normal society. For theirs is no ordinary family curse…

    Thirteen members of the family are possessed by the spirits of the Chinese zodiac and when embraced by a person of the opposite gender are transformed into their own personal zodiac animal.
