In the eerie year of 2011, a group of vegetarian friends, who once thought they were doing the planet a favor by shunning meat, discovered that their plant-based diet had awakened a terrifying revenge. The plants they once consumed with reckless abandon had been secretly harboring a deep-seated resentment, and now they were fighting back with every ounce of fiber in their being.

These abominations were part plant, part human, and part animal, forged in a twisted, nightmarish realm where the rules of evolution no longer applied.
