action
The states of the world community are engaged in a biological warfare that causes mutations in bacterial strains and ultimately causes an epidemic. The infected become undead with an insatiable need for human blood. The mysterious pathogen is transmitted to other people through bites and transforms the victims into so-called zombies within a very short time , which inexorably destroy large parts of the population. The only safe refuge for the few who are not infected are atomic shelters , which allow them to survive for years.
Ex-agent and bodyguard John Blake is commissioned by the doomed President to escort 50 selected people, including government employees, diplomats, politicians and ordinary people, to an underground bunker system in Guantánamo , Cuba .

Despite considerable resistance, the president's son Gaberial and his mother are infected. A little later, the little Treasure disappears without a trace. The disturbed Blake, who did not manage to lead his wards safely to their destination, then finds his way through on his own and at some point comes across Ariel, who has since separated from the infected Amber, Blake's wife.

After these have been successfully liquidated, John and Ariel find a fully equipped bunker that is supplied by a nuclear power plant .
