In Manhattan, cockroaches are spreading the deadly "Strickler's Disease" that is claiming hundreds of the city's children. Entomologist, Susan Tyler (Mira Sorvino) used genetic engineering to create what she and her colleague (and husband) Peter Mann (Jeremy Northam) call the Judas Breed, a large insect (looking like a cross between a termite and a praying mantis) that releases an enzyme that kills off the disease carrying roaches by speeding up their metabolism. The Judas Breed works spectacularly and the crisis is abated. The released population was all female and designed with a lifespan of only a few months, so that it would only last one generation.
