When terrorists attack Chicago in the year 2035, the government responds by creating a special unit called RIFT to combat the blood-borne virus unleashed by the blast. An average man living in the suburbs holds the key to a cure, but before RIFT can apprehend him, he is kidnapped and held hostage by the terrorist group. As time runs out and the viral infections reach epidemic proportions, the leaders of RIFT approve a daring, risky and desperate mission to save the man and find the cure.
