Primate Synopsis
Lucy (Johnny Sequoyah), a college student, returns home to her father Adam's (Troy Kotsur) home in Hawaii for the summer with her friends Kate (Victoria Wyant) and Hannah (Jessica Alexander). Adam, who is deaf, is the author of a popular series of thrillers, which enables him to afford the cliffside home. Also living there is a pet chimp named Ben, who was rescued by Lucy's mother and has become a member of the family.
Ben can communicate with humans by using an app on a tablet that speaks for him when he chooses words. He seems happy, but soon after the girls arrive, Ben begins behaving in a strange and violent manner.
