Terrorists release a mysterious virus on a small village, killing all of its inhabitants. When he learns the plague could destroy the world's population, the President of the United States (Harry Hamlin, Clash of the Titans) charges a team of scientists, led by the brilliant Dr. Galen Bronty (Nastassja Kinski, Terminal Velocity), to find a cure. He then retreats to a northwestern island and goes under quarantine so he may govern the country from a safe zone. But a grave situation gets worse when one of his advisors and a stowaway terrorist fail to honor the quarantine and storm the island in a jumbo jet full of children. It's up to the President to somehow stop the terrorist and the spread of this terrible plague-before it's too late. The strong supporting cast includes Joelle Carter (TV's Justified), Susan Hogan (Phobia) and Teryl Rothery (TV's Stargate SG-1).
