Keeping it as a secret pet, she names it Sting. As the girl’s fascination with Sting increases, so does its size and its hunger. Neighbours’ pets start to go missing. Then the neighbours themselves. Soon the girl’s family and the eccentric characters of the building realize that they are all trapped by a ravenous supersized arachnid with a taste for human flesh. And a young girl is the only one who knows how to stop it.
