What it’s about. Ein paar junge Menschen bauen in einem Waldgebiet Marihuana an. Um diesem Treiben ein Ende zu setzen, lässt der skrupelllose Sicherheitsdienst die Tanks eines Flugzeugs zur Insektenbekämpfung mit einem unerprobten Planzenschutzmittel befüllen. Doch die Wirkung stellt sich anders ein, als geplant: Vormals friedvolle Kiffer verwandeln sich sehr zum Leidwesen benachbarter Campingtouristen in brutale, mordende Bestien. Selbst für die sonst erfahrenen Sicherheitsbeamten gibt es kein Entrinnen mehr...
