Plot
Dan, a drifter, wakes up buried under snow in a remote, forested region amid the spread of a mysterious infection. He stumbles upon two siblings, Jack and Brooke, living in isolation in a technologically advanced home. Their parents are missing, and Dan becomes a reluctant guardian.As the story unfolds, Dan discovers that Jack might be infected with a variant strain of the virus that causes him to shift between human and feral states, similar to a werewolf. At the same time, a Homeland Security agent is hiding her son’s infection from government authorities.
Tension rises when Brett Carson, a militia leader, arrives with his team searching for his missing daughter, Melanie. The militia’s presence threatens the fragile peace Dan has created, forcing him and the children to fight for survival—not just from the infected, but from those who claim to be protectors.
