A failed government experiment has spun out of control along Rainbow River: local monkeys have turned into crazed predators, and the town of Dunnellon needs a fix fast. Dr. George Maxton left a cure incomplete before his death; the task now falls to a small team to recreate the serum, administer it to an infected primate, and stop the invasion before Dunnellon is overrun.
