The Scurry plot
The Scurry follows two pest controllers who are called to a café in a country park to investigate what is thought to be a routine vermin problem. But then, at night, an avalanche of crazed squirrels descends to seek revenge and cause chaos. Several fatalities ensue and the survivors take shelter in the café as a storm wipes out the power and all communications. That leaves an isolated and eclectic mix of people, from pest controllers and sulky teens to hypocritical vegans and a drug dealer, all battling for survival.
