In 2008, an unknown killer virus, dubbed "The Reaper
Virus" infected Scotland. Unable to contain the outbreak or cure the
infected, The UK government
built a massive 60-foot wall that isolated Scotland from the rest of Britain.
The quarantine was deemed a success; however, the extreme method employed by
the government destroyed diplomatic and economic relations between the UK and
the rest of the world. This led to massive unemployment, civil unrest and
extreme economic turmoil, causing the UK to collapse into a dystopia.
In 2035, 27 years after the quarantine, during a raid,
police discover several people infected with Reaper Virus. The Prime Minister
John Hatcher shares with domestic security chief Captain Nelson satellite
footage of survivors in Scotland. Believing a cure may exist, Hatcher orders
Nelson to send a team into Scotland to find medical researcher Dr. Kane, who
was working on a cure when Scotland was quarantined. Nelson chooses Major Eden
Sinclair to lead the team.
Sinclair's team crosses the wall and goes to Glasgow, Dr.
Kane's last known location. In Glasgow, while searching the local hospital for
survivors, Sinclair and her team are ambushed by a group of marauders. Sgt.
Norton and Dr. Stirling manage to escape, while the team suffers heavy
casualties. Sinclair and Dr. Talbot are captured by what turns out to be a huge
gang of brutal cannibals. Sinclair is interrogated by the gang's leader, Sol,
who plans to use her as leverage to cross the wall and leave Scotland. He
leaves and joins the rest of the gang, who grill Dr. Talbot and eat him. With
the help of Cally, another prisoner, Sinclair escapes and kills Viper, Sol's lover.
After meeting with Norton and Stirling, they escape on a train. Cally reveals
that she and Sol are Kane's children. Unsatisfied with Kane's rule, Sol left to
create his own army.
Meanwhile, Hatcher plans secretly to isolate the central
London area because of the infection. However, an infected man breaks into his
office and tries to kill him. Nelson shoots and kills the man, but his blood
splatters on Hatcher. Michael Canaris, Hatcher's right-hand man, quarantines
him and takes his place as de facto Prime Minister. Hatcher later commits
suicide.
After leaving the train, Sinclair's group are arrested by
soldiers armed with archaic weapons and armor. They are taken to a medieval
castle and imprisoned. Their leader, Marcus Kane, tells Sinclair the truth: there
is no cure, only people with a natural immunity. Originally a medical
researcher, he was devastated when his family was left behind during the
quarantine. After losing his wife, Kane became a twisted, sadistic leader. He
sentences Sinclair and her group to death, pitting Sinclair against Telamon,
his executioner, in a small fighting ground to entertain his followers.
Sinclair subdues and kills Telamon. During the duel, the rest of the group
escapes, retrieves their equipment and rescue Sinclair.
Sinclair, Norton, Stirling and Cally escape to a fallout
shelter entrance on horseback. They locate an underground facility in the
forest and find an intact 2007 Bentley Continental GT, which they fuel
up. Kane's medieval knights arrive and kill Norton. Sinclair and the others
drive the Bentley back to the quarantine wall. On the way, they are intercepted
by Sol's gang, who seeks to avenge Viper's death. After a high-speed chase, Sol
and many of his men are killed and Sinclair's group escape.
The car is tracked down by a government gunship. Canaris
arrives and reveals he will let the virus continue as a form of population
control and profit. Cally's blood is to be used as a vaccine for the virus.
Calley and Stirling board the gunship, while Sinclair chooses to stay behind.
Nelson flies into the quarantine zone to speak with Sinclair and she gives him
a recording of the conversation, the evidence to bring down Canaris. The
recording is later broadcast to the rest of the country. Sinclair retrieves
Sol's head and returns to his gang. Looking at the head, they cheer, accepting
Sinclair as their new leader.
