- Synopsis
- Charlotte, a rebellious 12-year-old girl lives in a dilapidated apartment building with her overworked step-father, Ethan, her mother Heather and baby half-brother Liam. Charlotte is often left on her own and stumbles upon a tiny spider hatched from a strange, glowing object that crash-lands in her great-aunt's apartment. Intrigued, she decides to keep the spider as a pet, naming it Sting.
  
  As Charlotte cares for Sting, the spider begins to grow at an alarming rate. She initially keeps its size a secret, but as it becomes more difficult to hide, her father and neighbors start to notice strange occurrences around the building. Sting's growing size and insatiable appetite soon lead to the death of pets and residents. Charlotte's relationship with her step-father is strained over the reality of her biological father. During a meltdown from Ethan, Sting attacks both parents while Charlotte is nearby oblivious with her brother.
  
  The tension escalates when Sting, now a gigantic spider, traps several residents in the building using mimicked sounds to lure prey. Charlotte accidentally learns the spider's weakness from her grandmother and goes on a hunt for her now missing family. As Charlotte saves Ethan, they face numerous obstacles, including Sting's intelligence and adaptability. During a showdown in the building's basement, Sting attacks the group, resulting in a battle.
  
  Charlotte manages to lure Sting into a trap with the help of Ethan. Using a trash compression device, they finally destroy Sting, but not without sustaining significant losses. With Charlotte's family safe, they do not realize that Sting has laid several eggs, one beginning to hatch.
