What Is The Plague About?
The premise of The Plague without spoilers.
It began like a simple cold; within a day fever, black neck swellings like baseballs, and a bloody, contagious cough sealed victims’ fate. The Black Death unleashed a fury that wiped out a third of Europe, sparking hysteria and social upheaval. The History Channel documentary probes the plague’s origins and the threat of a modern biological nightmare.
