Plot: Unable to comprehend the sudden and untimely demise of his fit-as-a-fiddle wife, Beth, and his equally healthy son, Clark, suddenly, the grieving father, Mitch Emhoff, finds himself quarantined and in shock. In the meantime, as a virulent pathogen is infecting thousands around the globe, the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation struggle to figure out the origin and the rapid progress of the virus; but, in vain. Now, against the backdrop of an unprecedented situation and the hunt for Patient Zero, nothing makes sense, and what's even more dangerous, self-appointed prophets manipulate the masses, as riots erupt, economies collapse, and people perish by the thousands. But, the invisible adversary is everywhere, there's still no cure for the lethal disease, and more or less, the average person touches his face nearly 3,000 times a day. Is there an escape from the suffocating grip of the deadly contagion?
Alternative Plot: When Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to Minnesota from a Hong Kong business trip, she attributes the malaise she feels to jet lag. However, two days later, Beth is dead, and doctors tell her shocked husband (Matt Damon) that they have no idea what killed her. Soon, many others start to exhibit the same symptoms, and a global pandemic explodes. Doctors try to contain the lethal microbe, but society begins to collapse as a blogger (Jude Law) fans the flames of paranoia.
