In the movie Shivers (also known as They Came from Within), the story revolves around a luxurious high-rise apartment complex called Starliner Towers located in Montreal, Canada. The building is home to a diverse group of residents, ranging from families to young professionals.

Unbeknownst to the residents, a group of scientists led by Dr. Roger St. Luc has been conducting secret experiments on parasites known as "sexually transmitted parasites" or STPs. These parasites are designed to enhance sexual pleasure but instead turn their hosts into sex-crazed maniacs with a relentless urge to infect others through even the slightest sexual contact.

The film begins with Annabelle, a young woman living in Starliner Towers who becomes the first victim of the parasite's infection. Infected, she seduces a married man named Nick, who eventually succumbs to the parasite as well. As the infection rapidly spreads throughout the building, chaos ensues. The once quiet and orderly residents become transformed into uncontrollable orgiastic beings, relentlessly pursuing sexual encounters to infect more individuals.

Dr. St. Luc, realizing the disastrous consequences of his experiments, tries to contain the outbreak but finds himself overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Rollo Linsky, the building's caretaker, along with a handful of uninfected residents, attempt to survive the chaos and escape the building.

As the infected population grows exponentially, the outside world starts to take notice of the alarming situation within the high-rise. Police officers and the military are called in to quarantine the building, sealing it off from the rest of the city. With tensions rising and the number of infected multiplying, the uninfected residents face increasing danger and the risk of turning into mindless, sex-crazed fiends themselves.

The film delves into themes of sexuality, human desires, and the primal instincts within people. It also raises questions about the destructive side of scientific advancements and the consequences of tampering with nature. The characters must confront their own desires and fight to survive the overwhelming epidemic within the claustrophobic and increasingly dangerous confines of the apartment complex.

In the end, the fate of the remaining residents remains uncertain as the parasites continue to spread, leaving the audience with a chilling conclusion and a lingering sense of unease.
