As spores descend from the cosmos over the Bay Area, the city flourishes with vibrant new plant life, transforming residents into drone-like shadows of their former selves Two health department officials (Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adam) discover the chilling reality as the extraterrestrial threat intensifies with each moment.
