Treasure hunter Ahkeeba slaughters a tribe of natives in order to steal the fabled ‘Black Egg of Maa-Kalaratri.’ Ahkeeba presents the relic to ailing artifact collector Walter Clark, explaining that he took revenge against the tribe for killing Walter’s wife Maggie, who raised Ahkeeba like a son. Walter counters that Maggie died from malaria and disappointedly dismisses Ahkeeba due to his murderous action. Struggling single mother Kara Spencer moves her two children into a back house on Walter’s property to become Walter’s live-in nurse. Kara’s young son Jesse expresses his displeasure over leaving New York. Jesse’s little sister Cambria befriends a stray cat she names Mister Whiskers. Returning to the house, Ahkeeba sneaks into Walter’s office and smashes the relic out of spite. A large prehistoric spider emerges from the remains of the egg and bites Ahkeeba, who flees the house and scares Kara in the process. Soon after, Ahkeeba succumbs to venom infection and dies after crashing his van. Later, Jesse sneaks into Walter’s house and takes a carved figurine from Walter’s collection before Walter asks the boy to leave.

Kara remains haunted by visions of her son Stevie, who died in a car accident where she was the driver. Kara steals Walter’s oxycontin and begins taking it to cope with her anxiety. Meanwhile, the spider hides away in Kara's attic, eventually killing the stray cat, and begins to stalk Cambria. Kara has a nervous breakdown in a diner after suffering another hallucination of her dead son, and is comforted by Sheriff Jane Dunne. Kara confides in Jane that she blames herself for Stevie's death, resulting in a failed marriage, while Jane realises that Kara is taking drugs. Jesse returns the stolen figurine to Walter and apologizes. Jesse admits that he hoped to get his mother fired because he is angry about the family’s move. Walter forgives Jesse, and invites him to help repair the smashed relic. While working, he tells Jesse the legend of Maa-Kalaratri, an ancient spider goddess became vengeful when people stopped worshipping her. Walter explains Maa-Kalaratri destroyed a village and stole the chief’s child; to appease her, the tribe began sacrificing their babies as blood offerings. Up in the attic, the spider sheds its exoskeleton and hides its egg sac inside a suitcase.

Left alone in the back house, Cambria searches the attic for the stray cat. The spider catches Cambria by surprise by jumping on the attic hatch and knocking her off the ladder to the floor. Kara scolds Jesse for failing to watch his sister, leading to an argument about responsibility in which Jesse blames his mother for being neglectful. Walter discovers that Kara stole his medication, and angrily kicks her out of his house. Over a monitor, Jesse hears his mother arguing with Walter about her burden raising two children alone. That night, the spider returns to Walter’s house where it attacks and kills him. Jesse storms out of the back house after learning his mother plans to move their family once again. Jesse goes to the main house and discovers Walter’s body. Sheriff Jane arrives to investigate, and questions Kara about Walter’s death. Kara mentions seeing Ahkeeba acting suspiciously when he was there previously. Jesse tells Jane that an evil spirit inside a spider killed Walter as a sacrifice. Jane doesn’t take Jesse’s claim seriously, but invites him to help her solve the case. Jesse repeats the legend of Maa-Kalaratri to his mother while insisting a giant spider killed Walter. Kara admonishes Jesse for frightening Cambria with his story. Kara slaps Jesse when he mentions Stevie in retaliation, but regrets her actions afterwards.

During the night, Kara goes up to the attic to investigate, finding Jesse quietly freeing Cambria from thick spider webs, all the while keeping an eye on the sleeping silhouette of the spider, which is revealed to be its empty exoskeleton. After the children get out of the attic, the giant spider leaps out from its hiding-place and bites Kara. Jesse calls Jane for help, while Kara is incapacitated by the effects of the venom. The spider attacks Cambria and pierces her hand with its fangs, before Jesse rescues his sister and smacks the spider into the wall, rendering it unconscious on the floor. Kara comes to and examines Cambria's bite, realising the fangs went clean through her hand and no venom has entered Cambria's bloodstream. She tells Jesse to look after his sister, and administers an epinephrine shot on herself to recover from the spider’s venom, and briefly passes out.

Upon waking up, Kara discovers that the spider has gone. Jesse hides Cambria in the wardrobe before he is attacked by the spider, before Kara arrives in time to tear off two of the spider's legs and crush its body, killing it. As Jane arrives with an ambulance, Kara collapses from exhaustion and sees a vision of Stevie, finally forgiving herself for his death by saving Jesse and Cambria.

After recovering, Kara and the two children move out, reaffirming their love for each other and promising to stay together no matter what. In the abandoned house, the spider's egg sac is revealed to have been hidden inside a doll's house, as several spiderlings emerge from inside.
