✦ Synopsis

Anne Thomas is part of a convoy of demonstrators heading for a drilling site being tested for prospective nuclear waste storage. The demonstrators are invited in and shown round the site in an effort to keep them out of trouble. But then the drill hits what seems to be hair, then erupts acid over most of the crew and the protestors, killing most of them outright. Anne Thomas is also the wife of Clive Thomas, a scientist at the Central Public Health Laboratory, and the man who has to analyse what little is left of the catastrophe. And to add to the problem, black tendrils begin emerging from the ground to suck anything living dry of its insides, leaving only a solidified skin. Thousands are dead, the tendril attacks are becoming more numerous and they are moving south, heading for London. Only Clive Thomas has a workable theory and with a nosey reporter who indirectly caused his wife's death, he ends up heading the team attempting to locate and destroy the creature at the heart of the problem.
