The Screen Guide

Set in a city overrun by feral cats, VERMIN tells the story of Richard, an exterminator who is gradually losing touch with his humanity. He encounters a strange feral boy who behaves like a cat and makes it his mission to save him from the life of a hunted animal. As Richard's obsession with the cat-boy sets in, he uncovers his own animalistic urges and finds it increasingly difficult to maintain his position in the food chain in a brutal and isolating world.
