The Carneys are a pride of Irish gutter lions, bred to the tooth and claw, who move into the home of the only brother who has tried to flee their world of lacerating animal instinct.

Years of research to purify the active part of the venom yielded a substance named Arvin by London's Twyford Laboratories. Now, reports in the Lancet testify to the potential of Arvin, given intravenously...
