PlotAn elite team of commandos is sent on a mission to rescue hostages from a remote Southeast Asian jungle. They stumble upon a clandestine military experiment designed to create super-soldiers, but the project has gone horribly wrong. The experiment subjects have turned into violent cannibals. The commandos find themselves not only facing off against hostile guerrillas but also battling these bloodthirsty mutants in a desperate fight for survival. As they venture deeper into the jungle, the line between friend and foe blurs, adding to their growing paranoia.
Meanwhile, in an urban setting back home, the infection spreads when one of the returning soldiers unknowingly carries the contagion. Individuals are transformed into flesh-eating creatures, wreaking havoc across the city. Amidst the chaos, a group of survivors bands together, including doctors racing against time to find a cure and combat-ready civilians trying to protect their loved ones. They navigate through treacherous streets filled with danger at every turn, forced to confront their worst fears. The situation escalates rapidly, and society starts crumbling under the weight of this terrifying and uncontrollable outbreak.
