Plot summary

A scientist working in a remote laboratory is accidentally exposed to and mutated by experimental bacterial pathogens during his research. The transformation turns him into a grotesque, blood-drinking monster with an insatiable hunger for human victims. As the creature begins terrorizing the local population, word of the outbreak reaches government officials who become increasingly alarmed about the potential for a widespread epidemic. Fearing that the mysterious disease could spread beyond the small town and become a global pandemic, government authorities make the drastic decision to authorize a military airstrike to completely destroy the infected area. This extreme measure would eliminate not only the monster but also over a thousand innocent civilians living in the town. With time running out before the bombing commences, a lone government agent is dispatched on a desperate mission to locate and kill the creature before the airstrike can be carried out. Racing against an unforgiving deadline, the agent must navigate through the chaos and terror that has engulfed the town while hunting down a nearly unstoppable monster, knowing that the lives of an entire community hang in the balance.
