The film begins with a government experiment gone wrong, resulting in a group of genetically engineered bats infected with a virus escaping into the wild. These bats are highly intelligent, aggressive, and capable of spreading the virus to other animals and humans.
As the bats begin to multiply and spread throughout a small Texas town, Dr. Sheila Casper (played by Dina Meyer), a zoologist specializing in bats, is called in to help contain the outbreak. She teams up with Sheriff Emmett Kimsey (played by Lou Diamond Phillips) and his deputies to track down and eliminate the bats before they can cause further harm.
Meanwhile, the townspeople become increasingly terrified as the bats attack and kill several residents, including livestock and pets. Panic ensues as the threat of the virus spreading to humans becomes more imminent.
As Sheila and Sheriff Kimsey investigate the origins of the outbreak, they discover that it was caused by a deranged scientist named Dr. Alexander McCabe (played by Bob Gunton), who created the genetically modified bats as part of a military experiment. McCabe believes that the bats are the next step in evolution and plans to use them as a weapon against humanity.
Sheila and Sheriff Kimsey race against time to stop McCabe and contain the bat infestation before it’s too late. They confront McCabe at his secret laboratory, where a final showdown ensues. Despite McCabe’s attempts to unleash the bats on the town, Sheila and Sheriff Kimsey manage to destroy the laboratory and kill McCabe, putting an end to the threat once and for all.
In the aftermath, the town begins to recover from the ordeal, and Sheila and Sheriff Kimsey reflect on their harrowing experience. While the threat of the bats may be over, they know that they must remain vigilant against future outbreaks and ensure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated.
