A brilliant but grieving scientist joins a pharmaceutical company to search for a cure to a disease that’s similar to the one that killed his fiancée and is now infecting a group of people who’ve evolved underground, known as “Earthliens.”
In the wake of an outbreak of a previously unseen, highly infectious disease, an American doctor is recruited by scientists to study a secret underground cave system that has humanoid beings and possibly the secrets to a cure.
After his fiancée is killed in a pandemic, a doctor is hired by a mysterious pharmaceutical CEO to treat an underground civilization, which is hostile to outsiders and is being ravaged by a similar disease.
