Oh, what a deadly web she weaves.... The Bayweather Building in Chicago has been abandoned for 15 years. Before demolition can begin, four city electrical workers descend into its basement to investigate a power source incongruously registering from the derelict property. The lead man, DEAN, takes his crew — veterans RAY and JUNIOR and the young SHELDON — into a locked room that the blueprints say shouldn't be there. Inside, they find a musty little lab with old computers, an odd metallic "foot stool" on the floor and a wall box with a radioactive-hazard symbol — behind which is a miniature nuclear generator. Sheldon, seeking to track the power source, inadvertently sets something off, and a strange, powerful beam erupts from the device on the floor. And that's when everything the four men ever knew or believed changes forever. A disoriented Dean stumbles into the light, as Junior rushes to help him. Ray and Sheldon watch in astonished disbelief as their two friends vanish in a blinding burst. Dean and Junior find themselves in a modern city — deserted, yet strangely familiar. Sheldon, back in conventional reality, leafs through an old journal the room's occupant left behind. "It's like Stephen Hawking, NASA" stuff, he says, and though he can barely accept his own words he tells Ray that the author believes he created a portal to a parallel dimension. Determined to rescue their colleagues, Ray and Sheldon turn the device back on, walk into the beam ... ... and step in an parallel Chicago gone damned. Now these four simple men find themselves trapped in a maddening mirror-world where savage, cannibalistic humans with spider appendages stalk and swarm. Yet there, too, a dwindling band of survivors — led by the beautiful ELENA, the lethal CRANE and long-lost scientist DR. MORELLI — fight back with primitive weapons ... and try not to dwell on the fact they've no chance of defeating the growing storm of spider-people and their monstrous, otherworldly Spider Queen. Action master David Wu — the famed editor of director John Woo's Hong Kong classics A Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the Head, Once a Thief, Hard-Boiled and more, and now a sought-after director on such stateside series as Relic Hunter, Tracker and Adventure Inc. — brings his kinetic visual expertise to an all-American tale of four ordinary Joes in extraordinary circumstances. With stars including Richard Grieco (Officer Dennis Booker on 21 Jump Street and the spin-off Booker, star of SCI FI Pictures' upcoming Phantom Force), Kate Greenhouse (Roswell: The Aliens Attack, Karen Liberti on the Showtime series Street Time) and Colin Fox (Professor Hendricks on Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal, dozens of films including the holiday perennial A Christmas Story and SCI FI Pictures' Deathlands: Homeward Bound), Wu has crafted a tough tale of average men finding the strength to survive ... and to sacrifice ... when caught in a web of events larger than they've ever known.
