A medical student named Norman Thoma conducts experiments on a microscopic organism, using ultraviolet radiation and cosmic bombardment to create an indestructible, ever-hungry super-worm—one that he believes will unlock the secrets of conquering disease and death. When his colleague Jane Wellen discovers his work and threatens to expose him, Norman's desperation spirals, and the creature escapes into the world, multiplying and consuming everything in its path as military forces prove helpless against it. As civilization crumbles under the worm's relentless advance, mankind faces an extinction it never saw coming—and a survival strategy born from sheer desperation.
