Plot Summary

Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of scientists led by Dr. Emily Carter (Sophie Turner) and Professor David Lang (Javier Bardem) are studying a mysterious, genetically mutated species of insects. What starts as a groundbreaking discovery soon turns into a terrifying nightmare when the swarm escapes containment.

As the insects multiply at an uncontrollable rate, they begin attacking everything in their pathโ€”decimating entire towns and turning humans into hosts for their ever-growing colony. The government orders a complete lockdown, but itโ€™s too late: the swarm is spreading across continents.

With time running out, Dr. Carter and her team must uncover the origin of the mutation and find a way to stop the infestation before humanity is overrun. But the more they dig, the more they realizeโ€ฆ this plague wasnโ€™t an accident. Someoneโ€”or somethingโ€”created the swarm.
