Synopsis: «The worst epidemic ever seen is sweeping Bundang, a suburb of Seoul. After introducing a series of illegal immigrants into the country, Byung-woo dies from an unknown virus.

The people feel helpless against a virus that is transmitted through the air and the number of affected people is growing rapidly, causing chaos. Trying to avoid the worst of expectations, the city, where more than 19 million inhabitants live, prepares to completely close its borders according to government orders. Meanwhile, viral specialist In-hye and rescue worker Ji-goo head into town to obtain a “patient zero” blood sample, a crucial part of the investigation to try to make a vaccine» (Filmaffinity).
