Plot: Two teen girls become separated from their parents when their town faces a quarantine following a mysterious outbreak. At first the two explore their new-found freedom, partying and doing whatever they want - but as the infection begins to affect people they know, they soon turn to self preservation. Barricading themselves in with a neighbor, things get even worse when one of the sisters shows signs of the infection - and it soon become a choice between family or survival. -- Chris Kavan
