A swarm of small, vicious alien creatures escape from a prison asteroid and head toward Earth. They land near a small Kansas farm, where they begin terrorizing a family. Meanwhile, two intergalactic bounty hunters are dispatched to track down the deadly fugitives, leading to a chaotic and dangerous confrontation in the quiet rural town.
