"The film follows Teacake and Naomi, two employees at a self-storage facility built atop a former military base, whose night shift transforms into a nightmare when a government-sealed parasitic fungus escapes from the underground levels.

The duo must join forces with a weathered bioterror operative to contain the threat before it triggers humanity’s extinction." [5]
