The deadly organism (fungus) was stored and buried under an old warehouse that is currently used as a storage unit facility. It seems that the the alarm system has been activated for unknown speculative reasons since the organism was buried 300 ft underground using every safeguard and precaution that the government and science had to offer. Robert Diaz, one of the original operatives is called out of retirement to again investigate this long buried deadly matter. Imagine what happens next!įast forward 30 years later. (Really?) A call came in with a claim that a man had fallen gravely ill after cleaning the outside of the unit and now there is a foreign substance leaking out of the container. Many years before, a NASA explorative space vehicle had exploded and some remnants landed in this country and for some reason this supposedly Harmless Container was left there. Two bio-terrorism operatives are called on to investigate and handle a situation involving an isolated community (26 people) in Australia.

Will that be enough to save all of humanity? All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards-one an ex-con, the other a single mother.

Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository. When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction.
