They bond on the plane. News of a deadly virus and mysterious creatures killing people spread in the plane. This sends the passengers into a frenzy. The copilot manages to calm them down. When the plane lands, the passengers are educated on the virus by a medical team. The virus is called the “corona virus” and the creatures are dubbed “corona bats”. It is airborne. Jack can’t get hold of his family. Paul on the other hand is able to. Jack and Paul part ways.
Jack rushes home. Jack is stunned to find his house in disarray with his wife and kids nowhere in sight. A voicemail from Lily instructs Jack to go to Lilly’s father’s place in Texas where she and the kids are safe. Jack upon hearing this quickly races to leave the house but he is stopped by his neighbor Phil who is infected. Phil attacks Jack and a brawl ensues. Jack cannot overpower him so he finds Phil’s pickup truck and drives away. Phil chases him. A brutal car chase ends with Phil being smashed off the pickup by a semi-truck.
Jack checks into a motel for the night. Two corona bats attack the motel. They chase Jack. Jack finds a gun and escapes the motel leaving in Phil’s truck. The creatures chase him. Jack kills them but the truck is destroyed. Jack gets a ride from a kind stranger who is also headed for Texas. On their way they pick up Paul whose car is damaged.
