Ravenously hungry and able to spit blinding venom, these ever-evolving and multiplying predators' ability to mutate and develop immunity to attack makes them almost impossible to kill...and things get even worse when Amy's ex-boyfriend, Uri turns up, and it is discovered that Amy is not who she says she is.
