The worst epidemic ever seen is sweeping through the Seoul suburb of Bundang. Within hours after a patient dies in the hospital covered in an oozing red rash and regurgitating blood, the deadly virus sweeps the city and the body count rapidly rises. Medical professionals are in a panic over the mysteriously murderous infection that has no known cure, fatalities rise and soon the government orders the military to quarantine the entire area -- no one gets in, no one gets out. Medics find hope when they hear of a sole survivor who may have developed antibodies against this ruthless viral mutation. As medical professionals rush to find the sole individual with the potential key for a cure, desperation and violence grip the public as the infected and non-infected struggle for life and everything begins to spiral out of control. FLU has a runtime of approximately 122 minutes and is not rated.
