Dr. Frederick Blake and his wife, Dr. Katherine Blake, renowned molecular biologists, are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery: creating the world’s strongest arachnid silk. But while Katherine insists on caution and responsibility, Fred recklessly pushes the limits of science, ignoring the potential consequences.
Their experiment goes horribly wrong, unleashing a deadly, giant, flesh-eating arachnid mutation from their isolated lab.
Meanwhile, Naomi Alexander, the owner of a nearby secluded farm, is hosting her boyfriend and friends for a romantic couples' retreat. Their peaceful getaway quickly spirals into a nightmare when they stumble upon mutilated animals encased in massive, unnaturally strong webs.
