What happens in Vipers from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

At Universal Bio Tech Research Facility, scientists push horned vipers further by enhancing their venom with a compound called C12 in the quest to cure disease. The early results look promising when the enhanced venom seemingly cures a woman of breast cancer; however, the same venom proves deadly, and the snakes murder four people. Aided by his own men, Staffin and his security detail subdue the staff to steal the snakes. In the ensuing chaos, the vipers are released and kill everyone except Staffin, who escapes. The snakes then rapidly repopulate, leaving the island in a state of eerie, creeping danger.
