A widow, Deputy Sheriff Jane Kozik, moves from Manhattan to Black Stone, New York, with her daughter Kelsey. There she expects to find a safe place to live. The day after moving, a homeless man is found dead in the tool shed of Jane's blind friend Beverly; an entomologist, Katherine is summoned to help with the investigation, along with Devin, Jane's brother-in-law and former boyfriend. Meanwhile, Kelsey befriends Eli, a scientist who has developed genetically modified wasps to the army as a weapon, and who is now trying to revert the process. When the wasps attack Black Stone, Jane, Devin and Eli team-up to attempt to destroy the swarm.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of Syfy's 'Maneater' series of TV movies, all featuring animals gone wrong. Robert Englund reportedly took the role because he loved the absurdity of Freddy Krueger fighting wasps.
Filmed in Montreal standing in for upstate New York, which explains why everyone looks slightly confused about their supposed American identities. The 'killer bee' panic this exploits peaked decades earlier, making this deliciously outdated.
