Everyone thought of it is a harmless striking storm. When Dave Drayton thinks a strange mist on the lake, he notices nothing of it. When his son, Billy Drayton, his neighbour Brent Norton, and himself go to the supermarket, the unmindable happens. On their way to the market, they see the army, the firefighters and the police, heading toward the mist. When he views this Brent mentions something about PROJECT ARROWHEAD, a mysterious military plan that no one knows about. As they are trading, they watch 3 army men walk in, just to pick up a few things then head toward the mist. All eighty of the store's traders had no clue what was going on until an old man runs in the market with a bloody nose and declares SOMETHING IN THE MIST. He tells them to close the door. About 5 seconds after they do close the door, the entire store shakes, as though it was lifted feet above the ground. When David is asked to check on the generator, the loading dock door was being pushed by something outpart. Then there was a groan heard by Dave. He asks 3 people to come with him. When Norm the bag-boy volunteers to go out, he is taken by a creature with large squid-like tentacles that have mouths, teeth and arms of their own. When dave and the other 3 against it off, they alarm everyone in the store what is out there. After hearing this, Mrs.Carmody exclaims that is the end of times and that God is punishing them. People don't believe until Mrs Carmody has almost everyone in the store on anything to do with this?
