Plot Summary

In a small, idyllic farming town, a freak agricultural experiment goes horribly wrong, leading to the mutation of the local strawberries into ravenous, flesh-eating predators. As the town's population dwindles, a quirky group of survivors must band together to fight for their lives against the terrifying, berry-based onslaught.
