On June 17, at a top-secret government laboratory in rural California, a weaponized version of influenza (called Project Blue) is accidentally released. A guard escapes the lab and begins traveling across country to his family home in East Texas, unintentionally spreading the virus along the way. A few days later he crashes his car into a gas station in Arnette, East Texas, where Stu Redman (Gary Sinise) and some friends have gathered. As the man lays dying, he warns Redman that he had been pursued by a "Dark Man". The next day, the U.S. military arrives to quarantine the town.
The other townspeople, taken with Stu to a CDC facility in Vermont, soon sicken and die, but Stu remains healthy and unaffected. Outside, the supervirus, nicknamed Cap'n Trips, rages unchecked. In two months it has killed 99% of the world population.
