The oceanographers alert the city's environmental council, but Mayor Stockman, who heads the council, ignores the warnings. It is also discovered that the boils and lesions are the result of the isopods eating their hosts from the inside out. Because of this, the isopods breed and grow quickly, killing off millions of fish and causing 40% of the bay to become lifeless. The ispopods have seemingly evolved to affect humans as well due to the high volume of excrement from the chickens from the plant, who were pumped with steroids to promote rapid growth.
After encountering multiple eviscerated fish eaten from the inside out, they realize that the true culprit is the tongue-eating louse, also known as Cymothoa exigua. It is revealed that months beforehand, two oceanographers discovered high levels of toxicity in the bay. Mayor Stockman continues to downplay and deny the situation. Two teenagers are killed by an unknown animal while swimming, and several citizens, including a teenage girl using FaceTime to speak with a friend, report bizarre symptoms, including the feeling of bugs within their bodies. The city descends into chaos as people begin dying en masse within hours. Abrams, the head of the local hospital, is overwhelmed with patients and contacts the CDC, who initially believe the issue to be caused by an unknown virus or fungal infection. Participants of a crab-eating contest also all begin to vomit violently. Despite Stockman's proclamations, as rookie reporter Donna (the individual behind the film's leaked footage) covers the event, dozens of citizens begin falling ill with severe lesions with no explanation. However, the chicken farm has come under fire from criticism from some citizens who are concerned about the water quality of the bay due to the dumping of chicken excrement and other toxins into the water, though Mayor Stockman, who is eager to further Claridge's burgeoning economy, insists the water is perfectly safe. On July 4, 2009, Claridge, a seaside Chesapeake Bay town nestled on Maryland's Eastern Shore thrives on water, both from tourism and from how it benefits the chicken industry. The footage is gathered from various news reports and home video, following multiple narrative lines. government until an anonymous source leaked the footage for the entire world to see.
