Our hero, Cooper, awakes to find himself nauseous, weak and covered in webbing, hanging from the ceiling of an office where, just minutes ago, he started his new job. As he struggles out of his slimy prison he comes face to face with his opponent - a grotesque, powerful and very angry bug. All 3 ft of it. And so begins a hideous, nail-biting, comedic, all-action adventure to find a safe haven while constantly outwitting an infestation of monstrous proportions. As Cooper embarks on his journey, he befriends a ragtag group of survivors including Sara, a feisty attractive female. Although the situation is dire, Cooper cant help himself from trying to solve his dating problem while trying to save his life. Will they make it to safety before they are picked off one by one? And what other surprises are in store for our group of unlikely heroes? [D-Man2010]*************** From KrystelClaireCooper (Christopher "Chris" Marquette) hates his job.

His manager, Maureen (Deborah Geffner) calls him to her office, and fires him, to which he replies that he wants to quit. The manager insists on firing him. The manager insists on firing him immediately. Suddenly, a noisy scrutch is heard.Cooper wakes up. He is inside of a white cocoon. A huge cocrachoac stings onto him and then leaves. After waking up, dizzy and confused, Cooper throws up a white liquid. He wakes up completely and wakes Maureen up. Maureen insists in looking for her daughter, who was about to pick her up. They wake up energetic doctor Sara (Brooke Nevin) - who "shows her appreciation to Cooper" by attacking him with an anti-rape spry, Maureen's daughter, student Leechee (Linda Park), strong but slow-witted Huge (E. Quincy Sloan) - who would have killed Sara if a crawling bug had not attacked them - and dumb blonde Cindy (Kinsey Packard) and some more people also enclosed on those cocoons. A flying bug appears and takes Maureen. "Al" (Wesley Thompson) is stung by one of the flying bugs, although at the moment he looks fine. The two guys who leave in a white van are attacked by some huge flying bugs towards the North End. Cindy agrees as her brother Chad and his wife live there. First Cindy wants to leave with the two guys, then she changes her mind, and when the van crashes one of the bugs to death, she runs after them so that they can take her away. However, two flying bugs kill the guys. Cindy is alive and she is kind of nice to Cooper, who can't believe his luck.Cooper want to go to his paranoid dad, a retired military man who has a bunker under his home. Leeche is the only one who stays behind with the intention of waking up as many people as possible. They capture a bug, and Leeche has analysed its poison: the substance which put everybody to sleep also has proteins, similar to those present in human pregnancies. On their way, Sara calls Cooper solisipstic, which means kind of selfish and lazy. Al, Hugo, Cooper, Sara and Cindy reach Chad (Mike Straub)'s home. There, several cocoons are joined together, as with an intention. Susan (Daniela Tonova), Chad's wife, is in one of the cocoons, is woken up, and throws up the white stuff as usual. Suddenly, Chad appears: the upper part of the body has Chad's face, but the lower part of the body is that of a 8-legged gigantic spider. Chad attacks them, kills Susan and is about to eat Cindy when Hugo and Cooper kill it. Cooper is hurt in one of his legs.At that home, Al scares Sara. Al realises that he'll become one of the huge bugs in due time. They keep on walking. They hide from some flying bugs.

Ethan is looking for his little dog, Lucy, calling it Cooper's sister. Al becomes a huge spider bug at that moment. Hugo kills him because he had promised Al to do so. Lucy has also become a smaller bug. The noise attracts more flying bugs, so they have to run underground.
