The clash of civilizations between ants and humans


Jonathan Wells inherits a house according to his uncle's will and moves in with his family. Desperate to get to know his uncle, Jonathan receives a note from his grandmother, warning him not to go down into his uncle's basement. A chance encounter leads Jonathan to enter the basement, and he continues to visit it as if possessed. Simultaneously, in the ant community, male ant 327 is the first to awaken from hibernation and goes on a patrol with his comrades. During this patrol, all the patrolling ants except 327 die without knowing what happened. Sensing that danger is approaching his people, 327 gathers like-minded comrades to warn them of the danger, but is chased by the threatening "ants that smell like rocks," and ends up uncovering the truth hidden by his people.
