Spoilers ahead

On a quiet street lined with numerous houses, many of which are abandoned and marked with foreclosure signs, an extraordinary event begins to unfold that will threaten the entire community. A Russian satellite, re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere, crashes down into a nearby field. Unbeknownst to the residents, this satellite harbors alien bacteria that are introduced to our planet through the debris. These microorganisms are incredibly deadly, infecting humans upon contact and causing them to develop black-veined, veiny skin, often leading to death shortly thereafter.
