[edit] Plot
The Soviet Union has dissolved into what is now Russia. Out of the east comes a mysterious virus that kills everybody in its path. The virus eventually reaches the United States, and Boston is quarantined. A wall is established cutting Boston off from the "mainland." All foreign immigrants are barred from entering the US since they may be carriers of the virus. The only people allowed out of the city are those with special passports, only available to those working with a government agency or through the black market.
Officer Delon (Henstridge) is a mother who desperately needs to get away from the quarantined city. She is about to give her son a black-market passport to the safe-zone when she is called in to duty.
A gang is has been slaughtered by some kind of creature and the police are investigating. The monster has superhuman abilities including speed and strength. The team of police officers, including Delon and Lemieux (Lambert), are sent into th sewer system to capture or kill the creature. Slowly, the team is killed off one by one until only Delon and Lemieux remains. Delon stumbles across a team of scientists, sent to kill the creature themselves. They know the creature is the source of the deadly virus and if it is not killed, it will "explode" and spread the virus all over Boston. Delon is then captured by the creature, along with two others. Delon eventually manages to kick the creature into unconscious in order to gain enough time to break her restrains, grab a pistol and kill it with numerous shots.
Delon is later rewarded with two passports to the safe-zone, one for her and for her son.
