Mulder and Scully are called out to the Olympic National Forest in [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest northwest Washington state]] to investigate the possible involvement of an ecoterrorist group in the disappearance of a logging crew. There, they meet Larry Moore, a park ranger who's also investigating the disappearance, Steve Humphreys, the head of security for the logging company, and Doug Spinney (Creator/TitusWelliver), the leader of the ecoterrorists suspected in the loggers' disappearance. Instead of ecoterrorism, however, they instead find a new species of insect that was accidentally released by the loggers when they chopped down an old-growth tree, which swarms at night and [[AllWebbedUp cocoons its victims alive]]. And given that the tires on Moore's truck are blown, they're all now trapped in the forest with a dwindling supply of fuel for the generator...
