An isolated Georgian town, known for antiquing, is left dealing with the aftermath of the worst storm in a generation...without any electricity or phone service.
Trees had knocked the lines down, cutting them off from the outside world; and pumping electricity into the ground...instead of local homes and businesses.
The local farmboy is infatuated with the neighbors daughter, though, the neighbor's daughter has her eyes set on the ny boy that has come to visit her.
The townsfolk are generally wary of outsiders. So, when they are exposed to a series of bizarre events, the young couple is left to investigate for themselves.
After the farmboy gets attacked by the worms from his own worm farm...they manage to figure out that the electricity from the downed power lines is driving the worms mad and out of the ground...rendering them rabid and insatiable.
The weakest aspect of the story (imo) concerns the discovery that only light can protect them from the worms, as they are averse to it (kind of like in that one X-Files episode, with the green bugs).
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a gaping plot hole, but it's a poorly executed device, for sure.
Though entertaining enough, it's nothing particularly special.
They sure used a helluva lot of those freaky looking worms though!!!
