The stark white winter landscape of a world overrun with the living dead is just the tip of the iceberg for two survivors of a biological terror attack. Strangers David and Sarah must band together to survive the massive outbreak while at the same time protecting their sanity.

Grieving over the death of his son, Jacob Lazar (C. James Roberts) connects with an alien visitor stranded on Earth. But Jacob tests their bond when he seizes the being's magical staff with the intent of traveling back in time and saving his son's life. This very act changes the alien's assessment of mankind's motivations and forces Jacob to choose between bringing back his son and saving humanity's future.
