The shaky borderline between mankind and nature is broken. Massed into a collective army ready to sacrifice their insect lives, the cockroaches of Los Angeles take the fight to human civilization's very infrastructure - its electrical stations and sewage treatment plants. It is an insurgency strategy that could leave mankind drowning in an ocean of its own excrement and powerless to save itself. Humanity's only hope: Henry James and the boys of Bug-Bee-Gone Co. But Henry has other issues. He's caught in a triangle between his corporate-climbing ex-girlfriend, Laura, and his new flame, a "literary hooker" named Page. As if that weren't complicated enough, his "Bug Brother" Kevin is mixed up in a bizarre and violent underworld "sport" and Henry's psychopathic, dead partner may not be dead after all - but may be even more psychopathic than ever.
