Fear thy neighbour. A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find themselves battling for survival as their friends and family descend into madness.
A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone into mindless killers, and the authorities leave the uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention. The American Dream goes horribly wrong when the residents of this picture-perfect town start to succumb to an uncontrollable urge for violence, and the horrific bloodshed escalates into anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military uses deadly force to close off access to the town, abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem as depraved killers lurk in the shadows.
Sheriff David Dutton, his pregnant wife, an assistant at the medical center, and Dutton’s deputy and right-hand man find themselves trapped in a once idyllic town they can no longer recognise. Unable to trust former neighbours and friends, deserted by the authorities and terrified of contracting the illness, they're forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for survival.
