On the morning of Friday the 13th, 2013 software analyst Edward Arkham (Sam Robertson) is bitten by a hornet, marking the beginning of a disastrous day. Several of his bosses and co-workers make mention to Edward leaving the department and possibly losing his job and to make matters worse, the insect bite is beginning to turn into a terrible rash.
