A mysterious airborne virus ravages the planet wiping out towns within minutes, cities within hours. The last survivors, led by Michael (Dexter Fletcher) and Carl (Dickon Tolson) escape the horrors of the city to a country house. When Phillip Evans, (David Carradine) a lone, intrepid survivor of the city horrors turns up, a spark of hope uplifts the group Alas - all is not as it seems, the living dead re-animate, becoming more clever, aggressive and deadly with each passing hour.
