Ángela Vidal, the young television reporter who entered the building with the firemen, manages to make it out alive. But what the soldiers don't know is that she carries the seed of the strange infection.

An old oil tanker, miles off shore and surrounded by water on all sides, has been especially equipped for the quarantine.
