- Synopsis:
- When a deadly virus spontaneously mutates in Taiwan it suddenly gives rise to a fast-acting, mind-altering plague. The streets erupt into violence and depravity, as those infected are driven to enact the most sadistic and ghastly acts they can think of. Amidst the carnage, a young couple, Jim (Berant Zhu) and Kat (Regina Lei), is pushed to the limits of sanity as they try and reunite across town amidst the chaos. The age of civility and order is no more. There is only 'The Sadness'.
