En California, le están sucediendo cosas extrañas al científico desempleado Jack Forman. Sus hijos le cuentan que hombres extraños han visitado la casa. Y Julia, su esposa, no ayuda, actúa e incluso se ve de alguna manera diferente. En lo profundo del desierto de Nevada, en el laboratorio donde trabaja Julia, las cosas están fuera de control. Un enjambre de microbots rebeldes, diseñados para reproducirse y aprender, se está desarrollando con una velocidad aterradora que tiene a los científicos luchando por contenerlo. Solo cuando llaman a Jack para que ayude, descubre la impactante verdad: los microbots han sido programados para comportarse como depredadores, y el hombre es la presa.
