Ben just wants to get his kids home after a long day. But when his quiet suburban street erupts with flashing lights, sirens, and neighbors shackled to gurneys, the night turns into a waking nightmare. Within hours and without warning, ordinary people—including Ben’s wife—are overtaken by something savage, silent, and unstoppable. These are not zombies in the usual sense. There is no biting, no infection, no cure—only relentless chasers who never stop once they’ve locked on to their prey.

So when a deadly virus breaks out, they're the only ones with a chance of surviving. The virus turns Brian's classmates and teachers into bloodthirsty attackers who don't die easily. The whole school goes on lockdown, but Brian and his best friend, Chad, are safe (and stuck) in the theater department.

As police race to protect the girl, Jim discovers it's far too late: someone's lying in wait, and what he - or they - want is the last thing Jim could ever have expected....
