"Part One"

Henry James, fresh out of prison, has just joined the Bug-Bee-Gone extermination company. He is partnered with a foul-mouthed man named A.J., who shows him the ropes and the two clean out a tenement building in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, a scientist named Saloth Sar collects a discarded sample of the pest control chemical known as Draxx. He brings it to Bug-Bee-Gone's CEO Nils Peterson for analysis.

While working a job, Henry and A.J. encounter a rat that is several times larger than a normal rat should be. A.J. hurls his hunting knife at it and pins it against a wall. Later, Henry exterminates a building and finds a giant, rabid raccoon. He panics and eviscerates the animal in a momentary bout of fury.

After hours, A.J. sits in the bathroom and begins intravenously injecting Draxx into his vein.
