In under twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys almost all of the population. Thousands die every second. Billions are killed. There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection the victims suffer a violent and agonizing death. Only a handful remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead. A small group of desperate people take shelter together in a village hall on the outskirts of a large city. Too afraid to venture out into the infected world, their shelter becomes a prison. The frightened group begins to splinter and crack under the emotional and physical pressure of the inexplicable situation. Terrified and trapped, with no electricity, water or supplies, the survivors exist from hour to hour. Then the disease strikes again. And the hell breaks loose.
