NIGHT ONE
A
U.S. satellite falls to Earth in Piedmont, a small town in Utah. When
civilians decide to open up the satellite a mysterious plague is unleashed that
kills virtually everyone who comes into contact with it, often driving them into
acts of mad violence before they die. As the army quarantines the area, a team
of medical specialists is assembled to stop the spread of the pathogen,
code-named Andromeda.
Three
of the scientists gear up in biohazard suits and inspect the town. They discover
two survivors an unhealthy old man and a colicky infant and take
them, the satellite and samples of Andromeda to Wildfire, a secret
underground lab designed for a crisis of this nature.
As
the scientists race to decode and find what kills Andromeda, it continues to
spread and mutate. A reporter sees a government conspiracy is afoot and
investigates, only to discover that murderous forces want him silenced.
NIGHT TWO
The
Wildfire team theorizes that Andromeda may have been intentionally
sent as part of an alien invasion force. They discover that a specific, rare
bacterium can destroy Andromeda and rush to manufacture enough to stop the
outbreak. Meanwhile, the reporter flees
both the spreading plague and government assassins, and rescues
a young woman in the process.
Just before the outbreak can become uncontainable, the bacteria is dropped into the infected zone and kills Andromeda, but a military attempt to save a sample leads to an outbreak within the underground lab. The team must race to stop a nuclear countdown designed as a last defense against a lab breach a blast that could feed Andromeda and reignite the outbreak.
