A desperate government official assassinates the mayor of Chicago and extracts a blood sample from the body in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses. With the entire city after him, the murderer is shot down on sight, but not before passing the blood vial off to Nick (Gil Bellows) and Lisa (Maxim Roy), two journalists whose instincts tell them to have the sample tested. The discovery of an alien protein tears open a government conspiracy involving an insect-like species and a potential pandemic unlike any the world has ever seen. Co-starring Isabella Rossellini and Judd Nelson as a helpful stranger who harbors a secret of his own, INFECTED is a terrifying sci-fi creature-feature in the vein of THE THING, THEY LIVE, and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.
