Jack (Jesse Metcalfe) goes undercover as a new patient to save his sister Lily (Kiele Sanchez), who has been involuntarily institutionalized for reasons unknown. Inside, they discover that a mad doctor at the asylum, Dr. Gianetti (Peter Stormare), has been testing an experimental compound, orphium, on the patients, a drug that seems to awaken a predatory hunger and turn some individuals into flesh-eating zombies. Loomis (Kurt Caceres), another patient, spreads the infection. The siblings join forces with a terminally paranoid man, Dave (Kevin Sussman), and a compassionate nurse, Nancy (Olivia Munn), in a desperate bid to escape.
