Description: In 2008, a deadly virus called the “Reaper virus” spreads across Scotland, turning its population into violent, uncontrollable individuals. Unable to stop the outbreak or find a cure, the British government constructs a massive 30-foot wall, isolating Scotland from the rest of Great Britain. While the quarantine halts the virus, it causes severe damage to the UK’s global relations, plunging the country into chaos with widespread unemployment, civil unrest, and economic collapse.
Twenty-seven years later, during a routine investigation in London, police officers discover people infected with the Reaper virus. Prime Minister John Hatcher, along with domestic security chief Captain Nelson, reviews satellite footage showing survivors in Scotland. Believing a cure might exist, Hatcher orders Nelson to send a team to locate Dr. Kane, a researcher who was working on a cure before the quarantine. Major Eden Sinclair, a skilled officer originally from Scotland, is chosen to lead the mission. Sinclair, who lost her right eye during her escape as the quarantine began, also hopes to find out if her mother survived.
Sinclair’s team ventures into Glasgow, Dr. Kane’s last known location. While searching a local hospital, they are ambushed by marauders. Sgt. Norton and Dr. Stirling escape, but the team suffers heavy losses. Sinclair and Dr. Talbot are captured by a group of cannibals led by Sol, a power-hungry leader who plans to use Sinclair to cross the wall and launch an invasion of England, aiming to bring Great Britain into a new era.
