The once peaceful villagers exhibit strange, violent behaviors linked to a recent pesticide used in the vineyards.

Guided by sheer determination to escape the spreading madness and reconnect with her fiancé, Élisabeth discovers a network of uninfected survivors facing the same grim reality. The infected villagers, driven by uncontrollable impulses, intensify the threat, driving Élisabeth and her newfound allies into increasingly perilous situations. Surrounded by chaos and carnage, Élisabeth must navigate the twisted landscape to uncover the cause of the outbreak and find a way to stop it. As her journey progresses, Élisabeth faces unimaginable challenges that test her courage and resolve.
