Synopsis/Details
A group of four, mid-twenties men, embark on an ill fated activist stunt at a research facility, Experi-Medical. After weeks of planning, things go wrong, and one of the men, Kent, is unknowingly infected by a virus.
The four men are caught by the authorities and are sentenced for their crimes.
After the trial, the four men are approached by a court official, offering them a place in a brand new, privately owned prison. The men get on board when they hear they can reduce their sentences. The men sign some documents and are transported by bus to the remote facility, owned and run by Experi-Global. This is the parent company, that owns the research facility the four men broke into.
When they arrive, they quickly meet the eccentric Warden and his number two, Head Guard Morgan, who shows the men to their new home, Cell Block Z.
Kent has been getting more and more ill looking since the trial, and on the first night at the prison, he succumbs to the virus he picked up at the research facility.
From there, everything unravels into chaos as the virus quickly spreads through the prison.
The three remaining group members, Max, Lyle and Steve, try to survive long enough to come up with an escape plan. As they make their way through the prison, they uncover links to the research facility, and what’s left of the inmate test subjects.
Everyone becomes an enemy in the confined surroundings, as the three men fight against infected and non-infected inmates and guards.
Will they escape the prison? And the terrible music?
