As man dominated the world without doubt, much in the way microorganisms “swarm in a drop of water,” these beings have plotted to take it from him.The action opens with Brooklyn dock worker Ray Ferrier finishing the third shift in the morning. His young daughter Rachel and teenage son Robbie are staying with him at his house in Bayonne, New Jersey, while his ex-wife Mary Anne and her new husband Tim visit her parents in Boston for the weekend.Later on that day, a strange wall cloud arrives unleashing EMP lightning repeatedly in the same spot about half a mile from Rays house. The lightning disables all the working electrics in the area consequently leaving all the residents of the town stranded in the streets. The lightning makes a mysteriously cold hole from which a large tripod machine emerges and begins vaporizing human beings into dust in its path. Witnessing, and barely escaping the horror, first-hand, Ray takes his kids and steals the only operational vehicle in town, due to advice of changing the solenoid in the car.
