The film introduces Dr. Kelson, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, who is caught in a disturbing relationship that threatens to alter the fate of humanity. Alongside him, Spike (Alfie Williams) faces the ruthless Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O’Connell) and his gang of deadly acrobats, intensifying the struggle for survival.
Adding to the excitement, Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy makes a cameo appearance, reprising his role as Jim from 28 Days Later. The star-studded cast also includes Emma Laird, Maura Bird, Erin Kellyman, and Chi Lewis-Parry.
