## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A blizzard howls over the Rockies. A red biohazard placard slaps the sheriff’s door. Snow muffles the first gunshot.

The town’s only doctor watches soldiers burn the next infected cabin while a masked militia drags him toward hollow-eyed freedom fighters. Their leader wants the same cure.

A diesel-engine chase through midnight pines.
