Students on summer break are exposed to a deadly virus that is spread rapidly through direct human contact. The infected become enslaved by the invading "swarm" intelligence and driven by an insatiable appetite to consume human flesh. Returning home, the students spread the infection to their fellow classmates and other unsuspecting townspeople.

Ten years after Alton Crow was locked away for a series of unspeakable killings, the city finds itself threatened again on Halloween as an apparent copycat evades police while taking women one by one. The trail leads three detectives to an abandoned insane asylum, only to find they've been lured there by something far more sinister.
