An Infestation in Spanner

The beautiful gorge in Spanner, Ohio has always been a great place to visit and a refreshing part of everyday life for Spanner residents. One spring, though, abnormally large cricket eggs begin to surface at the bottom of the gorge.

Two twenty-year-old friends are the first to discover the eggs and use their curiosity to take a sample of some of the eggs and take care of them until they hatch. Once the eggs do hatch, the creatures that come out of them are much larger and more aggressive than normal crickets.

As hundreds of the crickets hatch they become larger and more monstrous by the second. It soon becomes clear to all of the residents of Spanner that an infestation of epic proportions is at hand. The quick-witted and lucky ones are able to escape Spanner and get as far away as possible from the deadly creatures while the others are trapped in their homes and other buildings in the town. As the crickets begin to close in on the buildings, realizing their prey is trapped inside, everyone has to do what they can to help each other and survive.
