Spoilers ahead

In 1889, the inhabitants of Rejection rely entirely on the nearby silver mine for their livelihoods. One day, water from a hot spring triggers the hatching of graboid eggs, resulting in the death of 17 miners. Hiram Gummer, Michael Gross, the mine’s owner and Burt Gummer’s great-grandfather, arrives in town to assess the situation. After juvenile graboids that can shoot out of the ground (later dubbed Dirt Dragons) attack his camp one night, he is shocked by their presence. One of his companions, Juan Pedilla, Brent Roam, kills one with a pickaxe, and the pair escapes while four others accompanying them are killed.
