In a ploy of corporate espionage, a group of thieves infiltrate a genetics lab to steal trade secrets, during an overnight party. Hell is unleashed, when they inadvertently shut down the building’s power releasing viruses that turn the scientists into a crazed state. (DIE HARD meets THE LAST OF US)

SYNOPSIS:

During a late night party at a genetics lab, Katie, a geneticist, tries to create a procedure to modify a virus to target and cure infants with abnormalities in the zygote stage. A group of thieves are hired to infiltrate the genetics lab and steal Katie’s research and other trade secrets, during the overnight party.

While completely botching the heist, the thieves inadvertently shut down the building’s power causing the release of a parasitic virus infecting the entire lab.

As infected scientists run the lab amok, Katie, now trapped, along with the remaining survivors try to leave as someone sabotages their escape. Not only that, the laboratory's Isolation and Quarantine safety protocol is activated which will lock them inside the building for ”sterilization”.
