Description: A deadly, highly contagious disease sweeps across the planet, plunging humanity into chaos. In the midst of this crisis, a couple, Paul and Sarah, along with their teenage son Travis, isolate themselves in a remote house deep in the woods. Their fragile sense of safety is shattered when Sarah’s father, Bud, contracts the disease. Forced to protect themselves, they kill him and burn his body in a shallow grave.
One night, an intruder named Will breaks into their home. After capturing him, Paul ties Will to a tree and covers his head with a bag overnight to ensure he isn’t infected. Will explains he was searching for water for his wife and young son, offering to trade food for resources. Sarah suggests welcoming the strangers into their home, believing more people could help strengthen their defenses. Reluctantly, Paul agrees and accompanies Will to retrieve his family.
During the journey, they are ambushed by two men. Paul kills them, accusing Will of setting a trap. Will denies the accusation, claiming he fought the attackers, which slightly eases Paul’s distrust.
Back at the house, Paul and Sarah introduce their strict safety rules to Will, his wife Kim, and their son Andrew. These include keeping the only entrance locked with a key worn around Paul or Sarah’s neck and minimizing nighttime excursions. Over time, the two families bond and establish a semblance of normalcy.
However, tensions rise when Travis’s dog, Stanley, chases an unseen presence into the woods and disappears. Travis insists he heard something suspicious, but Paul reassures him that Stanley knows the area and will return. Later, Paul grows increasingly suspicious of Will after noticing inconsistencies in his story about his past.
The fragile peace between the families begins to unravel, leaving everyone on edge as the threat of the disease looms ever closer.
