In a last-ditch effort to save their failing relationship, Allison and Bobby embark on a spider-eating adventure into the remote Australian Outback, accompanied by a "Strange Foods" television crew. Their trip coincides with the arrival of a mysterious and eco-conscious spider fanatic, as well as the spiders' own violent retaliation -- turning the "tables" on the hapless tourists.
