In the near future, an atomic disaster has reduced the world to poverty. Instead of a government, America is run by an organization called the Merchants, who exploit the degenerate remains of society. Dr. Paul Dean Robert Glaudini is forced to create a new life form, a parasite that feeds on its host. Realizing the deadly potential of such a being, he escapes the Merchants with the parasite, infecting himself in the process.
Now on the run, he travels from town to town, studying the parasite so that he can find a way to destroy it, all the while keeping one step ahead of a Merchant named Wolf the Merchant James Davidson.
While resting in a desert town, he is attacked by a gang of hooligans—Dana, Arn, Shell, Bo, and Zeke, led by Ricus Luca Bercovici, a former slave of the Merchants. The gang steals a silver canister containing the parasite, not realizing what it is. It escapes and infects one of the members.
Meanwhile, Paul befriends a pretty young lemon grower named Patricia Welles Demi Moore, who promises to help him destroy the escaped parasite. Ricus, trying to save the life of his friend, comes to Paul for help, only to be confronted by Wolf. Patricia, Paul, and Ricus evade Wolf, but when they return, the parasite has spread to another member and grown into a fleshy worm with a mouthful of deadly teeth. Ricus becomes a turncoat and is killed by Wolf. A friendly diner owner, Collins Al Fann, comes to aid the group. After Patricia helps kill the parasite bonded to Paul by high-pitch sound waves, the remaining parasite attacks Wolf who is then blown up by Patricia, Paul, and Collins.
