A U.S. Army soldier on guard duty named Charlie Campion escapes the lab and begins traveling across the country to his family home in East Texas, unintentionally spreading the virus along the way. On June 17, Campion crashes his car into a gas station in the town of Arnette, Texas where Stu Redman (Gary Sinise) and some friends have gathered. As the man lies dying, he warns Redman that he had been pursued by a "Dark Man". The next day, the U.S. military arrives to quarantine the town.
