Plot Summary

In a remote, heavily guarded facility, a group of prisoners are subjected to a radical new experimental treatment designed to suppress violent tendencies. However, when a catastrophic system failure unleashes a swarm of genetically modified, bloodthirsty bats, the inmates and their overseers must band together to survive the night. Trapped within the compound, they find themselves in a desperate fight against an unstoppable airborne menace, forcing them to confront their own inner demons as much as the external threat.
