The premise

After freezing up under pressure in the emergency room, Dr. Cahill decides to spend a few months unwinding on a little Maine island where he immediately gets off on the wrong foot with the locals. Meanwhile, a body has washed up on shore infested with a strange type of carnivorous cockroach. But when Dr. Cahill tries to warn the townsfolk of the danger, they are naturally skeptical. Will they realize the truth before it's too late?

Horror Vault's take

A burned-out doctor retreats to a remote Maine island hoping for quiet and recovery, only to discover something far worse than small-town hostility waiting in the shadows. A corpse washed ashore carries a horrifying secret — a breed of carnivorous cockroaches unlike anything the locals have ever encountered. As the infestation spreads and the body count rises, the doctor's desperate warnings fall on deaf ears, making the threat all the more dangerous. What begins as a tale of community suspicion quickly evolves into a race against a relentless, swarming nightmare.
