description: Things are usually quiet in the little town of Broughton. Kids go to school, moms make dinner and keep house, dads go to work, and everyone cheers on the local football heroes of the town's only high school. But when Harry Timmons leaves his job at the virology lab to come home to his beloved wife Arlene, he can't begin to imagine what he'll find there. The snarling, homicidal beast he meets in the dark is not the gentle, timid woman he fell in love with back in high school. One by one the women of this small town start going berserk and kill any male that crosses their path. Police investigator Ralph Peterson senses that something just isn't right when Harry is brought in for murder. Once tragedy strikes his own family, Peterson begins to pursue the case in hopes of uncovering the forces at work in his town as well as a way to stop it before it spreads.
