Synopsis

Haunted by a wartime helicopter crash that killed his crew, former U.S. Army helicopter pilot Jim Taylor came to Manila to escape the ghosts of war. After the disastrous mission in Afghanistan that ended his career, he swore never to fly again and now manages a civilian call center far from the battlefield.

But when a mysterious virus erupts in the Philippines—transforming the infected into violent, fast-moving killers—the city descends into chaos within hours. Streets become war zones. Communications collapse. Entire neighborhoods are overrun.

 

As survivors fight to stay alive inside a high-rise condominium, Jim is pulled back into action by CIA operative Carl Kovak, who believes the outbreak originated from a secret jungle laboratory tied to illegal biological experiments.

 

The only hope may be an experimental antivirus hidden deep within infected territory.

Joined by Marine Sergeant Sharnita Stewart—Jim’s lifelong friend and the woman he never stopped loving—Jim leads a desperate mission through collapsing streets, swarming infected, and a city falling into darkness.

 

To stop the outbreak, he must do the one thing he vowed he would never do again—climb back into the cockpit and fly.
