One day, Norman attacks a woman in a shopping mall, biting her neck and drinking her blood. It turns out that he and several other veterans, including his friend Charlie Bukowski (Giovanni Lombardo Radice), have contracted a mysterious virus that causes them to crave human flesh.
As the virus spreads, the city is thrown into chaos as the cannibalistic veterans go on a killing spree. The authorities, including Dr. Mendez (Wallace Wilkinson), a military physician who treated the infected soldiers, race to find a cure before it's too late.
