Plot Progression

1. The Released Predators — Exotic pythons are released into the Everglades and grow into a major ecological threat. Hunter intervention fails when the giant snakes eliminate the hunters.

3. Eggs Beneath The Swamp — The discovery of enormous egg clutches raises the stakes beyond the original invasion. Attacks destroy the activist group and force an urgent response.
4. Miami Under Siege — The reptiles invade a public fundraiser and threaten Miami. The remaining survivors unite, using pheromones and improvised diversions to redirect the creatures.
5. The Quarry Burns — The survivors confront the hatchlings and adult reptiles at the quarry. Explosives destroy the visible creatures, while a later memorial preserves the cost of the disaster.
