Spoilers ahead

The film primarily follows Alison and her boyfriend Michael, who have traveled to Eastern Europe so that she and her mother Sylvia can receive cosmetic surgery from an elite plastic surgeon, Dr. K. When Michael expresses misgivings about the facility’s lax atmosphere, Michael is given a tour by a staff member, Daniel, who abandons Michael partway through in order to steal some drugs. Michael discovers a restrained, muzzled woman and removes the muzzle just as Daniel returns. They discover that the woman is a zombie, causing them to flee. The woman chews through her restraints and leaves to attack others, causing a zombie outbreak. Michael makes his way to Alison and stops her surgery so they can flee. On their way to Sylvia, they are attacked by a zombie and Alison leaves Michael behind, believing him to be dead. Alison finds an unconscious Sylvia and while trying to wheel her to safety, a zombie appears and bites Sylvia. Daniel arrives and saves them.

Michael awakens and makes his way through the facility, discovering Dr. K and his administrator Janja before reuniting with Alison, Sylvia, Daniel, and another survivor. Dr. K reveals that the facility accidentally created the zombie virus during the course of some experiments. He is then killed by Janja before he can reveal more, justifying his death by saying that he was infected by Sylvia, who had begun changing. Michael is urged to kill Sylvia but when he cannot, a disgusted Alison does it instead. The remaining survivors try to escape the facility, with some dying in the process. Daniel becomes infected while trying to blackmail Janja, who he then kills as revenge, telling the others that a zombie did it. The group discovers that the military has blocked off almost all ways out of the facility and is willing to kill any who try to leave to prevent the virus spreading. Daniel, Alison, and Michael make it to an unprotected manhole, however Daniel betrays Michael by leaving him in the facility tunnels. Alison and Daniel make it to a car, where he is killed by Alison after she discovered his infection and because he tried to rape her. Michael makes it out of the tunnels by using a bomb, in the process accidentally providing an exit route for some zombies. His escape is ultimately for naught, as he is fatally run over by Alison, who believes him to be another zombie. She realizes her mistake just as she crashes her car and dies as the movie ends.
