[edit] Plot summary
An experimental surgical method is applied on a woman, victim of a motorcycle accident, where "neutral" transplants are inserted in her body with the hope that they will mutate and replace the damaged organs. Unfortunately, her body does not take the new transplants as was expected and mutates them in some sort of a sting that spreads a weird form of deadly rabies to everyone it touches. Infected persons become very aggressive and have the objective to spread the rabies further.
