A Venusian honeymoon could quickly end in disaster, when the newlyweds are attacked by savage night dwellers and catatonia-inducing spores. English biologist Patricia Hammond with her new American husband Hamilton "Ham" Hammond, decide to explore the dark side of Venus to collect plant specimens. But what they find is a specimen far beyond their expectations, and it forces them to re-evaluate what it means to be "intelligent".
