Imagine, if you will, you and your new wife on a cross-country trip, when
a tire blowout stops you in the middle of nowhere. Imagine further your

Watch as David, the young husband, does everything he can to stay alive and stay away from the once-human creatures that hunger for David’s beating heart. He takes refuge with a isolated group of uninfected people, and there he gradually finds the inner strength to lead a young woman away from the madness that is “The Killing Strain.”
