Synopsis/Details
In a world gripped by terror, a mysterious and lethal pathogen known as S&M spreads like wildfire, turning human bodies into ticking time bombs. There are no early symptoms, no tests, and no cure—only the chilling certainty that once the virus activates, death is swift, gruesome, and inevitable. The pathogen thrives on intimacy, transforming love and desire into weapons of mass destruction. As society teeters on the brink of collapse, paranoia and fear become the new norm.
Marco, a 23-year-old haunted by the relentless news of the pandemic, finds himself trapped in a nightmare when his girlfriend, Trudy, dismisses the severity of the crisis. While Marco spirals into panic, Trudy remains eerily calm, convinced the virus is nothing more than a conspiracy. But when Marco receives a shocking phone call revealing Trudy’s infidelity, his world shatters. As he confronts her, the virus strikes—first Trudy, then him—leaving them both to dissolve in a grotesque display of betrayal and biological horror.
