From the writer of the critically acclaimed "Downfall" comes the intense dramatisation of one the most astonishing episodes in German twentieth century history.

A reporter and a cameraman are just two of the people trapped inside an apartment building after a deadly strain of 'rabies' breaks out in the city of Los Angeles.

A city is struck by an inexplicable plague that causes everyone to lose their sight. One woman withstands the case of blindness and fights to help her husband and seven strangers escape the chaos.
