You break the rules, you die. You follow them, you live... may be!"

Throughout their 4-day journey, the group is faced with dilemmas that require heartrending and moral decisions that could affect their fight for survival if they make the wrong choice. Faced with making repeated decisive decisions, the tension and resulting stress reaches breaking point as the group discover that their greatest threat is not from the virus wiping out mankind but the darkness from within...
