Unknowingly, a young woman enters the habitat of a tribe of killer gnomes during her daily run. Lured by mysterious glowing mushrooms, she'll soon wish she'd stayed on her usual tracks. With the help of steampunk machinery, the cannibalistic gnomes slaughter their prey into juicy sausages, becoming part of their ecosystem.
