A quiet town is shattered when a mysterious zombie outbreak erupts without warning. Detective Megan and her deputy, George, begin investigating what initially appears to be a random catastrophe — but soon discover something far more sinister.
A genetically engineered virus may be responsible, designed to create the undead as part of a hidden conspiracy.
Caught in the chaos is Colin, a biology professor whose family becomes victims of the spreading infection. After a passionate encounter with Megan, he joins her in a desperate effort to uncover the origin of the virus.
As the outbreak spirals into a nationwide crisis, they realize the true horror is not the zombies — but the powerful forces manipulating the apocalypse from behind the scenes.
