A creature-feature survival horror about giant mutant spiders on an island, driven by visceral threat and action rather than depth or character development.

Mercer's brother, an amateur pilot, crashes on an island and is killed by a giant spider. A year later, when Mercer goes in search of him, she discovers a breed of poisonous arachnids ready to attack.
