In 1968, at a military hospital, an infection begins to ripple through the facility as an operating team works on a patient. A medical student secretly pockets a strange vial hidden inside a thermos, hoping to study it later, but is fatally shot while trying to escape through the woods, dropping the mysterious container. The hospital staff scramble to contain the outbreak, enforcing strict consequences on anyone who had contact with the infected man. Outside the building, sharpshooters lay the explosive obstacles that would eventually seal off the hospital, and the ensuing chaos culminates in a dramatic, grim end as the explosives wipe out the lingering threat and the hospital is left quiet—at least for a time.
