In a quiet American town, life follows its usual rhythm until a strange contagion begins to trigger an outbreak of madness. It all starts with an accident at a military experimental facility, where a virus escapes and causes the inhabitants to become violent and, in some cases, behave in completely erratic ways. The community, once characterized by its calm and peaceful coexistence, transforms into a battleground where distrust and chaos reign.
A group of survivors, including a local doctor and his wife, tries to escape the town while dealing with the imminent threat from their now-dangerous neighbors. As the madness spreads, the authorities, who initially attempt to control the situation, find themselves overwhelmed and make increasingly drastic decisions, including quarantining the city. However, the danger does not only come from the infected; paranoia and fear also begin to erode the morale of those trying to save themselves.
With a haunting tone and a tense atmosphere, the story prompts the audience to reflect on the fragility of civilization and how the line between sanity and madness can quickly blur. Amid desperation and horror, the characters confront their own fears and the inability to escape a reality that becomes increasingly terrifying. A disquieting blend of horror and social criticism that leaves a lasting impression.
