Durante una gita in barca, Scott Carey è esposto a una nube radioattiva.

In un crescendo da incubo infinito, Carey vede i suoi tentativi di proseguire una vita normale svanire e perdere di logica, per trasformarsi in una continua lotta per la sopravvivenza tra insetti giganti e pericoli impensabili. Ed è solo l'inizio del suo viaggio verso l'ignoto...
