Empire of the Ants

Jonathan Wells moves in with his family after inheriting a house from his late uncle. Eager to learn more about his uncle’s life, he is cautioned by a note from his grandmother, warning him to avoid the basement of the home. However, a chance encounter leads Jonathan to enter the basement, and he finds himself inexplicably drawn back to it time and again. Meanwhile, in the world of ants, Scout Ant No. 327 is the first to emerge from hibernation during winter, embarking on a scouting mission with his fellow ants. Tragically, No. 327 witnesses the slaughter of his companions without understanding the threat they faced. Realizing that danger looms over the colony, he gathers a group of allies to alert others about the impending peril. As he flees from ants emitting a “rock-like scent” that threatens his life, No. 327 inches closer to uncovering the dark secrets hidden within the colony.
