New Mexico, USA, shortly after World War II, where the first nuclear test in human history took place. Two policemen find a little girl wandering in a state of shock. A squeaky sound, like a threatening buzz, is looming large, right from the desert’s heart. A colony of huge ants infected by radiation wreaks havoc and brings the human race face to face with the consequences of its actions. When you open Pandora's Box, you don’t find flowers, only monsters.
