Detailed Synopsis

What appears to be a rock falls from space. In Wheelsy, South Carolina, Wally and Bill Pardy are sitting in their patrol car. Wally uses a speed gun to measure the speed of whip-poor-will, which surprises him as he thought it would be faster. The object then crashes into the woods of Wheelsy. As Jack MacReady is driving through town, he starts honking at Inconsiderate Driver who has left his vehicle parked in the road while he goes shopping. He calls the Inconsiderate Driver a vulgarity and then looks over and sees Upright Mom and her daughter staring at him and Upright Mom tells Jack, good morning. Starla Grant is teaching her class about survival of the fittest when Kylie Strutemyer looks over and sees Drawing Boy drawing a nude picture of Starla. After school ends, Hank is talking with Starla when Grant Grant comes to get Starla and accuses Hank of trying to pick Starla up. Trevor and Margaret are helping children cross the streets when Trevor wonders why Starla married Grant. Margaret tells him it was because Starla grew up poor and wanted to have a better life. Bill makes a comment about Margaret not having a vagina and 'Gina Kid asks what a gina is and Bill tells him like the Ginese people. At night Grant tries to have sex with Starla, but she tells him that she isn't in the mood and he angrily leaves. He goes to the bar where Karaoke Woman is giving a rendition of The Crying Game. Brenda Gutierrez walks up to Grant and Grant remembers her. They leave the bar and go into the woods and start kissing, but Grant stops due to him being married to Starla. They see the object which is cracked open and find the The Long One. As Grant pokes at it, it a barbed appendage suddenly shoots out and embeds itself in Grant's chest and travels to his brain. Grant then walks away and drives home and eats meat. In the morning, Starla apologizes to Grant, who starts crying and they have sex. At work, Janene notices Starla is in a good mood and Starla tells her that Grant seemed different in a good way. Grant goes to the grocery store and buys 14 rib eyes from the Butcher and lots of other meat. Starla notices Grant has added a lock to the basement and he tells her it is because of a birthday surprise for her. Grant's body starts to change and he grows two spiky appendages. As he is about to attack Starla, he stops and tells Starla that he has to go to work. At the Deer Cheer, Lead Singer and his band play. Grant goes to Brenda's house and she lets him inside. Bill walks up to Starla and they awkwardly talk. Jack gets up to make a speech about how after God invented Earth he said man should have dominion over animals. Brenda takes her shirt off and Grant does too. He then attacks Brenda with his spiky appendages and infects her. Starla goes home and finds Grant has physically changed and he tells her that he got stung by a bee and he already saw Dr. Karl. The next day Starla calls Dr. Karl and he tells her that he hasn't seen Grant in over a year. As Starla is driving home she notices a large amount of missing pet posters. Grant brings meat to a chained up Brenda. Bill and Wally go to Starla's house and ask to see Grant. They tell her that Grant was last seen with Brenda who is now missing.
