A creature-feature horror film about giant mutant rabbits terrorizing a town, blending B-movie camp with genuine darkness around family tragedy and scientific hubris.

Rancher Cole Hillman is fed up of rabbits plaguing his fields. Zoologist Roy Bennett conducts an experiment to curb their population, but it gives rise to giant rabbits that terrorise the town.
