Seven-year-old Rory endures the relentless torment of his older brother Timothy, who uses their father's macabre collection of spider jars to prey on his fear. Haunted by the memory of their mother's death, possibly from a spider bite, their father keeps hundreds of spiders in jars, believing they'll die slowly. This eerie collection becomes Timothy's weapon, as he repeatedly traps Rory in the basement, using the unsettling rattle of the jars to terrorize him. The story delves into the complex emotions of grief, sibling rivalry, and the lingering trauma of childhood experiences, culminating in a harrowing climax where Rory's fear reaches its apex as the jars are shattered in the darkness...
