In California, odd things are happening to unemployed scientist Jack Forman.

His children tell Jack that strange men have visited the house. And Julia, his wife, isn't helping - she acts, even looks, somehow different.

Deep in the Nevada desert, in the laboratory where Julia works, things are out of control.

A swarm of rogue microbots, designed to reproduce and learn, is developing with a frightening speed that has the scientists battling to contain it.

Only when Jack is called in to help does he discover the shocking truth - the microbots have been programmed to behave as predators. And Man is the prey!
