Sheriff Carter ends up with an accursed mess on his hands when the opening of an Ancient Egyptian tomb unleashes lethal effects on those who opened it as a swarm of Ancient Bugs are rehydrated (and reanimated). The Bugs use humans as hosts dehydrate and eventually kill them. Once they almost overrun the town, the sheriff and Global Dynamics must contain it or let Eureka fall in to the mercy of a 3000 year old plague.
