The Deadlies are a very nice family of well mannered spiders who just happened to be incredibly toxic. it's not their fault that their venom is so harmful. They would never hurt anyone! But the humans they live near just don't understand. (The other spiders around aren't that friendly either.)


  The Deadlies love their cozy web in the basement of the philharmonic hall. But trouble starts when Felix Deadly tries to meet his hero, the Maestro. The silly man faints from fright, and the Deadlies have to flee before the exterminators arrive. Is there no place a friendly - and deeply misunderstood - family of spiders can call home?
