Teaming up with Jose Ramos, a hospital security guard with a big heart and quick humor, Alex uses his expertise to track down the creature wreaking havoc.
As they chase the ever-growing arachnid through the city, the duo faces numerous obstacles and escalating danger, all while city officials scramble to contain the threat before it spreads further. With each encounter proving more treacherous than the last, Alex and Jose must combine their wits and resources to prevent catastrophe.
