The handymen team of Valentine McKee and Earl Bassett live in Perfection, Nevada, a decaying ex-mining town with only 14 residents, among them survivalist couple Burt and Heather Gummer and the namesake owner of Walter Chang’s General Store. A new arrival is Rhonda LeBeck, a college student from Mesa State University who is conducting seismology tests around the town; Earl unsuccessfully promotes her as a possible girlfriend for Val.

Val and Earl tire of their hand-to-mouth existence and set out for Bixby, the nearest “real” town. En route, they discover Edgar Deems, the town drunk, dead at the top of an electrical tower with a loaded rifle clutched in his hands. Puzzled, Earl and Val haul his body to Jim, the town doctor, who announces that Deems died of dehydration. On their second try at leaving, the duo come to the property of sheepherder “Old Fred” and find that he and his flock have all been horribly butchered. Panicked, Val and Earl race back to Perfection, now thinking that a murderer is on the loose. They warn two road-construction workers they meet, but soon after Val and Earl leave, something underground kills the workers and causes a landslide, blocking the only road out of town.

Val and Earl discover the town’s phones are dead, and head for the police in Bixby, only to be thwarted by the landslide. The sight of a gore-clotted hard hat in the rubble sends them back to Walter’s store, where they find something wrapped around their Jeep Gladiator’s back axle: the severed body of a malodorous creature the general size and shape of a python. The townsfolk hunker down for the night, unaware that the “snakes” have attacked Jim and his wife, killing them both and pulling their car underground. Read more
