Kent Horvath, Michael Shanks, is a scientist who hones a new pesticide aimed at yellow jacket wasps. He tests it on eight wasps and discovers it kills six, but the two survivors end up with extremely high pheromone levels that trigger their brutal aggression. That night, a janitor accidentally releases them, and they attack, killing him. The next morning, his body is found alongside one of the wasps, while the other remains nowhere to be found.
