The remote refuge of Holy Island is plagued by The Infected in Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's visceral new apocalyptic vision, filmed across the North East, as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes fight for survival in the aftermath of the rage virus' invasion of the UK.
It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected.
One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway.
When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
