Summary

A boat captain delivers supplies to a remote island where scientists researching overpopulation have accidentally created giant, venomous shrews from ordinary specimens. When a hurricane strands the crew with the researchers, the ravenous creatures escape and lay siege to the house, forcing the survivors to devise a desperate plan to reach the boat alive.
