Plot Summary
News reporter, Angela Vidal, and her cameraman, Scott Percival, are filming their report on the night shift at the Los Angeles Fire Department. Firefighters, Jake and George Fletcher, receive an emergency call from a local apartment building. Screams from the apartment of elderly resident, Mrs. Espinosa, were heard by the landlord, Yuri, his wife, Wanda, and other residents: Lawrence; Bernard and his roommate, Sadie; Randy; Kathy and her daughter, Briana; and immigrant couple Nadif and Jwahir. The crew enters with police officers, Danny and James. They are attacked by an aggressive Espinosa, who bites James and Fletcher.
Danny shoots her down. The team finds another resident, Elise, in a similar condition and brings her downstairs with the others. Those wounded by Espinosa become sick and delirious. The authorities and CDC quarantine the building, not allowing anyone to leave. Angela interviews Briana, who states that her dog is at the vet because he was sick. Lawrence recognizes the symptoms as similar to those of rabies. Angela, Scott, Bernard, and Sadie witness a rabid dog maul Randy to death. They are attacked by Elise, and Scott kills her in self-defense. CDC officers wearing hazmat suits enter the building to test Fletcher and James, who awaken to attack one of the officers and Lawrence.
The surviving inspector reveals that Briana’s dog is the reason the CDC has quarantined the building, as it was infected. Briana succumbs and bites her mother before fleeing. The group finds Briana, who is now infected. She bites Danny, which forces the others to rush back downstairs as all the infected break loose. Kathy is killed and Nadif and Jwahir are infected by Lawrence. The remaining group locks themselves in a room upstairs, but discovers both the inspector and Sadie have been bitten. Bernard attempts to escape the building, but is killed by a sniper outside.
