Dr. Ansel Jarrat, a naturalist, works at the Natural History Museum.

But now the insects will have their revenge. Every night Dr. Jarrat finds himself turning into an insect. A caterpillar one night, a cockroach the next. Will Dr. Jarrat find a way out of this curse or will he die the death of an insect, like so many he has killed?
