While attending a campaign stop, US President Martin Howard (Bruce Boxleitner) is shot! The President grabs his neck and falls to the ground. As Secret Service agents rush the President to the hospital, they realise what they thought was a bullet, is really a dart carrying some king of poison.
After extensive tests, Dr. Landis (Megan Gallagher) discovers her worst fear has just become a reality: a new strain of Ebola virus has started to spread. She immediately takes all neccessary precautions and quarantines the hospital to prevent an outbreak.
As the President becomes sicker and the virus becomes airborne, Dr. Landis realises she has become infected. Soon everyone around them will die at an epidemic rate if they cannont contain the disease. Their only choice is to blow-up one square mile and incinerate it. The President orders General Ryker (Dan Lauria) to quarantine the entire town and arrange for the bomb.
Time is running out. Dr. Landis must find a cure to save the President, the town and herself from certain death. In the final hour, Dr. Landis, discovers a boy who has the antibodies in his blood that makes him immune to Ebola virus. The only problem is the boy is missing. Will they find him in time...?
