A construction worker is killed when insects burrow themselves into his brain. Sam and Dean research the history of the town and find that a new housing development is being constructed on a sacred tract of Indian land. The land was put under a curse when the reservation had been destroyed. Now, it's up to the brothers to reverse the curse and kill the swarms of bees, locusts, spiders and beetles.
