The film follows the unsettling events that our lead character Ethan experiments after encouteres off "face to face" with a certain creature-aracnid monster type thing that strings a series of mysterious murders in the dreary small town he lives, all this happens while he wants to keep ties with his borther. Obviously there is much more in the story but you will find it out when you go and watch the movie, I know you people will.
